Sounds like you might want to use the MINDISTANCE label parameter in this case. I think if you see it to a value close to the size of your metatiles you'd get sparse labeling of those features but not simply the single label that pre-clipping computation gives you. That's the approach I take with things like National Forests in Minnesota where 1 polygon covers ~3 million acres...

Now I have an intermediate example.
What if I have a large polygon or a large polyline. I don't want to see the
labels for every tile of 250 x 250 pixels, but I don't like it when there's
only one label when the polygon or polyline spans 40 tiles for example.
