Like most iris are the same size as one eye. Like Snivy's eye texture is 256 X 256 and each eye is 64 X 64. So directly copy the entire iris texture and place it the corner, then just go down.
Just make sure that you draw something in the corner of the iris textures when moving them. If you don't photoshop won't preserve its size and position and that's where problems start. Once it's in position, delete the parts you drew.
Well, I use paint.net since I don't have photoshop. But I think the process should be similar.
Anyhow, I tiled up the iris textures and then I just pasted into the eye texture like you said and I got the something like this.
I think I kinda getting the hang of this. Only issue is trying to delete the parts of the iris that are sticking out without it being a pain in the butt to do.
The information of which parts are outside the eye is baked into the alpha channel of the _EyeNor-texture or sometimes saved into a separate _EyeNor_Alpha-texture.
You only have to use this texture as an alpha mask on top of your iris layer and there you have it.
