RA3 Style Build Limits in RA2?

So for those not in the know, in Red Alert 3 only the Construction Yards & specific Expansion Outpost Buildings were able to extend the Building Area or upgrading your Construction Yards.

I'm asking is if I were to implement something similar to this in RA2,A watered-down version namely as you can build small 1x1 Structures which expanded the Build Zones similarly. I know a human player can easily navigate through this but I'm mainly concerned is if the AI can utilize this properly

Probably it will be ignored by the AI. The AI has some issues with Adjacent handling (like placing buildings near the last built most cases) but I guess it wouldn't stop the AI from teching up.

In TS the AI completely ignores the Adjacent key on every building and takes instead the global AIBaseSpacing key as the building distance.
I'm not sure, but I doubt they changed a lot in RA2 here.

The AI seems to obey that more than anything except for the override for Shipyards. I've set that to three as a test and the AI had a hugely spaced base area. Adjacent is for players only; the AI ignores it in favor of AIBaseSpacing.
