In the manga toshiro states that hyorinmaru is one of the only zanpakuto that doesnt suffer from a large difference in ability between shikai and bankai and its just the level/amount of ice made, perhaps aizens situation is similar? Maybe his bankai has the same ability but is magnified, perhaps it simply extends the range of his illusions or something like that. Just a thought.
