That's a good general suggestion for patterned parts. Some parts are
already set up this way -- the minifig torsos are one example.
I don't think there are any baseplates where there is more than one
patterned element for any one basic element, so there's not much point to
making this change.
If we had a roadplate where there 5 different printings to go with the
plain baseplate (we reasonably expect that people will eventually model the
5 printings), it might be worthwhile.
The 7-stud curved-road baseplate is the only candidate I can think for this
treatment. It has at least 3 different printings: the roadplate, the
desert dirt-road plate, and the river plate.
