I can't find it either.  I remembered that JOSM presets have a lot more
detail than the wiki.  But I checked, and I don't see anything about
"coaches" (which I think is the word in EU for what we Yanks would call
"bus", a large vehicle that can transport say 40 people).

In JOSM, I see

  spaces overall
  spaces for disabled
  spaces for women
  spaces for parents

but the implication is that these are all car-sized.

I find the women/parents strange, as I have never seen such spaces.  In
the US pretty much everywhere has restricted parking for disabled only
(one has to display a placard which is a government-issued license to
use these spaces, needs a doctor's certification, likely similar
elsewhere).  I am guessing they exist someplace though.

The tags are e.g. capacity:parent=1.

I mention this because one could easily extend and add

capacity:coach=N


Another approach would be, if the parking lot (en:GB: carpark er
coachpark) is for buses/coaches only:

 amenity=coach_parking

This also brings up "Recreational Vehicles", abbreviated RV, which I
think might be "caravan" in en_GB (in en_US, caravan refers to a group
of perhaps related vehicles traveling together).  There are often spaces
for those, as they don't fit in car spaces.
