What is the name of your state? NC

Here is the scenario: 23 years ago my grandfather made a will saying that I and my 2 cousins get equal size pieces of his land when he dies. Once of my cousins puts a trailer on her future piece and moves in (I was only 4 at the time)

Flash to 2006. My grandfather dies, I get the land, and it turns out that because of zoning restrictions I and my other cousins's piece are just slightly too small to put a house or trailer on. I can't really do anything with it. Now my aunt who is a realy bitch inherited the much larger piece of land.

Can I contest this will based on the fact that my grandfather intended his grandkids to live on the land he willed them, and demand the executor(my aunt) give us enough additional land to be able to put housing on it?

Sorry. What makes you think that you are entitled to more? Either buy or sell so the two pieces are one or ask for a zoning variance.
