Forgot to mention the following possibility (if you use programs like 
Leveller, World Machine, GeoControl, or whatever):
1) make a height_field
2) duplicate it
3) mirror the duplicate along x or z (or both)
4) modify the central parts of the duplicate, leaving the edges unchanged 
(very important, obviously)
5) tile the original height_field and the duplicate(s)
