Dont forget, in texture imports you can also use the following schemes


128x256
256x512
512x1024

These can be good if you need a duplicating texture along a static mesh, or bsp etc.

Click to expand...

It has to be Powers of two....
Simply count up, doubling and these are numbers you can use:
2+2 = 4
4+4=8
8+8=16
16+16=32
32+32=64
64+64=128
128+128=256
256+256=512
and it goes on forever.
See...no 400.

They dont have to be squares, they could be sized 512x32 if you want.
