Could The 512² Playable...

...area shift on different vertical levels? That is to say, if there is one 512² room on top of another, do they have to line up on the x and z axis, or could they overlap, just so long as it doesn't allow the player any more than 512*512 horizontal movement space at any one time?
How about non-playable area? I assume there could be some detailing through a window that isn't part of the 512² playable area...

yes, they have to line up for the sake of consistency. areas outside of the 512² field are allowed of course, as long as the player can't reach them. those could also be used for monsters.
1024² FTW!
The 512² idea sounds good to me, I might even join in on the fun. I would recommend extending it to 1024², though. 512² might be a tad to cramped.
One question: Standard Quake, Quoth, something else?
768x768!

I was worried that 1024 might be so big that it wouldn't be much of a restriction... but I guess for a sizable SP map, it might be.
There's also 768²...
