    When baking mixed lighting in shadowmask mode, some lights are turned into purely baked lights because they exceed the 4 overlapping lights limit of shadowmasks. This limitation exists because the shadowmask texture uses each channel of RGBA to store the data per light.

    My question is: can we double the amount of shadowmask textures so that we can bake mixed lights for up to 8 overlapping shadows?
