Currently oversized tiles need to be sliced into separate tiles. We should be able to support oversized tiles, at least ones that have a rectangular base area.

The algorithm I've seen for this basically makes sure that every tile is drawn after all the tiles behind it are draw. For oversized tiles, draw the full area behind the tile (along the x and y axis) first. Essentially you end up recursively drawing subsections of the map, and keeping track of which tiles you've already drawn.
