So... you would simply just need to scale the image to 4x3.  Ever since
UV-POV, uv textures have worked in the z-plane of texture space, not image
space.  Texture space is infinite (well, within the limits of floating point
math)... it is not clipped to [0..1].  So, it would be perfectly fine to
scale your image map to 4x3 and then apply it as a uv-mapped texture.
