UV outside of 1,1 range

[rhoymand]

is it bad to have your UVs outside the 1,1 (top right) range? I have a flower pattern going up stairs and when I align the faces to match the pattern its partly out of that range.

for environments, its fine to have it go out of the 0 - 1 space. Only when you are applying effects like amibent occlusion, or adhereing to engine limitations do you need to worry about it.
