Again this is fairly easy. You simply scale your pigment instead of
the object it is applied to.

object { your_object
  pigment {
   image_map { tga "your_image.tga" }
    scale < x, y, z > // <-- this scales the pigment (image) only
  }
 scale < x, y, z>  // <-- this will scale the object and the pigment together
}
