There is no standard definition of what is considered as XL as far as I am aware, and this question has come up time and time again.
In general, if a tent does not fit into a standard pitch, and some sites guy lines and some don't, the norm is just the overall dimensions of the tent without the guys; then it needs to go onto a jumbo/extra large pitch that costs more.
However, definition of what is the size of a standard pitch various from site to site.
In this guide, tents over 5m wide x 9m long is considered as oversize and needs to go onto their jumbo pitch. However, it does not say if that includes the guys or not.
Hope this helps.

going by some of the sites i have seen and read the sizing on their pitches it would appear if you could put your tent erected on your bed at home that would count as their standard pitch, if the tent fell off your bed then that their XL pitch for which they will charge you absolutely anything they feel like!
