I can't think of anything small enough to be an extra tent on a pitch and have standing room. It would be almost as tall as long.
At best you will get stooping height.
When sites mention an extra tent, they usually mean a pup tent. Think a two man verging on one man.

A small tent that you can stand up in?
There are several 3 and 4 berth tents that you can stand up in but they cannot be described as small.

Wild country Zephyros 3 might fit the bill.

Agree with what others have said... You will need to check with the site about charges for an extra tent on the pitch, because charges mostly only cover a small 1-2 berth tent. Once you start adding something more substantial then sites will charge, possibly event a whole extra pitch.

The Argos Trespass has the advantage of a full SIG and windows and is very cheap, £89.99 See link below.
The Zephyros is superior in materials and therefore costs a LOT more, but is very small pack size. On the down side it it not a SIG, and has no windows

If you can compromise on the stand up bit, my son will be using the new Olpro Pop which is big enough for a double but only sit up height.
