Place the scale statement *before* the texture, and only the object will 
be scaled.
Instead of this:
box {...
    texture {...}
    scale < 2000, 1, 1>
}
use this:
box {...
    scale < 2000, 1, 1>
    texture {...}
}

You could also create the box at the desired size and not bother with 
scale at all, but this method is easier if you also want to use rotate, 
matrix, or transform.
