I realize i could go with a pocket world (though they tend to have islands as well), and I've heard of the world painter, little as i know about it, but I'm hoping there's an easier way. I also know about "Large Island", by the way, and it doesn't cut it.

Bump full- and partial-edge oceans numbers fairly low, and make the elevation stuff both high and with relatively low variation. Essentially, take the advice in the "generating small islands" thread (which I've somehow lost), and do the opposite of everything there.

Alternatively, if all you want is civ access between all landmasses, you could just embark over the gaps to join them up, assuming it's small-ish (or you don't mind using embark anywhere), then abandon them all.

Draw continents by hand, and import them into Perfect World to create exactly the topography you want.
