Unfortunately that won't help with this issue, as min_extent and
max_extent give you the extent of the object's bounding box (rather than
the object itself), which in case of parametrics is in turn simply based
on the contained_by object.

One possible solution would be to evaluate some sample points from the
function set (possibly using an adaptive algorithm), and create the
contained_by box based on the range of the results (with some additional
margin).
