Don't worry about it until BuildVisLeafs fails to complete. Then just increase the lightmap scale for all your brushes until it compiles again. 16 is default, about 28 is the highest i've had to go.

For your own amusement you can take faces with monotonic lighting (i.e the undersides of walkways, faces too deep underwater for people to see anyway, etc) and turn up the lightmap to 4096 or 2048. The luxels become enormous.
