How to bake when UV's are far out of bounds?

I have a boring tiling texture that I made more interesting by using the Ambient Occlusion node. When I add plants the AO is overkill and there seems to be no way of making the AO ignore specific objects or materials. So I figure the solution is to bake the result of the AO node. Problem is I scaled the UVs far beyond the 0-1 range. How do you bake in this situation? Will I have to fit all the UV’s within 0.1 and then use texture coordinates in the material to recreate the same sizing? […
