I only said it might be nicer. Usually I always say that about the opposite
approach of what someone has used.
However, from a code change perspective I think it has become quite clear
that a single image is the easier way.
However, putting both in one image causes issues with scaling at the borders.
Completely separating them has some really annoying issues, I guess from a
cleanlyness-perspective, extending the mp_image to e.g. have an arbitrary number
of planes with a new "view" starting at each 4*i offset might be the best
long-term solution. But that will take more time and effort to do.
