People have done that before..? Maybe. I think you're talking about the way Portal 2 did it, having only certain things render when you are in an area, but somehow all being one map.

It's a little hard to understand what your question really is, but clear it up when you get the chance.

Ok, so if we say that the default map limit is 1x1, I am asking if we can create a map file with 3 1x1 maps, layered vertically, then we use this addon to connect the 3 segments up and make a map that seems to be 1x3 instead of 1x1, 1x1 and 1x1

Most likely, yes. But I recommend just doing the Portal 2 thing.
Look up "Portal 2 Impossible spaces."

I think they want to make maps larger than the hammer size limit, but not infinite, using the same cell-based system as the infinite maps.

I understand that. That's why I mentioned Portal 2. Portal 2 has this strange way of linking parts of maps together as one huge string, rather than multiple maps. But, you can't do it in this version of the source engine, sadly. But for anyone observing this, I recommend doing research on how they did it. Some maps in this version do that, but not like Portal 2.

Oh. Well, Gamzee exposed. Knows nothing about the source engine. EXPOSED.

This could be possible by having your func_maprepeats on the Z axis, but not on X or Y, and adding a nodraw wall that will only appear at, say, cell 0 0 2, so that it's just a normal map that's three times the size. I did something similar to this with gm_infinipit, but I don't think that's included in the addon anymore, and I don't remember where I put the .vmf
