UV map variation and the file size, a simple cube can have 4 to 24 UV vertices depending on your texture requirement. Don't use a 3D program that generate 72 vertices.
If texture tends to repeat on a model, they should be tiled within & welded.


Export your model to OBJ and open with note pad to view its info
