Just stamp out more tiles!
Longest wire, frequency, design and verification complexity
all independent of issue width.
Architecture is backwards compatible.
One of the nice things about Raw is that it scales. These three things are all independent of transistor count:
the longest wire, the design complexity, and the verification complexity. You can see in the picture, that with a process
shrink, everything shrinks in proportion: the size of the tile and the length of the longest wire.
Additionally, the number of tiles, the network bandwidth, and the I/O bandwidth will scale directly with the physical
quantity of resources that actually available.

Finally, note that Raw is backwards-compatible. A program that runs on 2 tiles on the left will continue to run on 2 tiles on the right.
