25 gallon may seem huge, but it really isn't too big for an SDC. Mine is probably already getting kinda rootbound and it's not even mature, yet. And to be honest, 25 gallon pots aren't much bigger than the pot on the L of the pic you posted....maybe a little shorter and a bit wider (and the width is more important for bananas than depth).
Could an SDC survive and/or bloom in a pot smaller than 25 gallons? Absolutely. Will it provide optimal growth and the best conditions for the plant? Absolutely not. That is the main issue here.
Here is my SDC in a 25 gallon:
Sorry, it's kinda difficult with the given space to get a decent pic of the plant AND the pot, but you get the idea. It's very happy in that pot....total height in the pot is around 7' tall.
