You might run into trouble though, since it is possible to have an
offset to a layer, which means, that the tiles do not necessarily
match.
However, Some time ago Marc Lehmann destroyed my fears with respect to
that. The core cares about this problem and makes sure that the pixel
regions are split up in smaller parts where each part is contained in a
single tile per drawable.
