Total noob need confirmation on this, please (UVs)

Hey there!!
Im learning Unreal and substance painter. Using C4d for modelling and UvLayout for Uvs.
What im actually doing (im not on a serious proyect, just learning) is:
I model my object, then Uv it and send to Substance Painter to texture it.
My biggest concern is with the "texel density" thing. I watched tutorials and i can understand how it is working. But i dont know wich one is the best approach.
Most of the times some parts of my object have blurry-low quality textures due to a low texel density.
So to fix this i need to modify the size of these parts in the UV.
But on complex models, i just dont have enough space for all....
So what should i do? Wich one is the common aproach?
I was thinking on make overlapped UVs. I think substance accepts it, not sure about Unreal... think so if i make a second Uv for lightmap.
But as far as i know, overlapping UV is not good... or what?
Is there any tutorial about UVing and Substance Painter and Unreal?

But using overlapping UV can be a viable option, the only thing to consider is when you want to bake your normal map, you want to put your overlapped uv's on a different shell to avoid artifact in the baking.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Allegorithmic?feature=watch have great tutorial about SubstancePainter,
hf !
Ill use the overlapping UVs tactic then.
If anyone has something to add... ill be happy to read him!
