Yes, I think that having bounded single elements but infinitely big universes is potentially fine.
Though if the utilities of worlds are described by unboundedly-big numbers then of course you have exactly the same problem over worlds.
See Joe’s recent post On infinite ethics which prompted this post. I was especially responding to Part X which relied on the assumption that individual experiences can be arbitrarily good in order to argue that UDASSA-like schemes don’t really avoid the trouble with infinities. But I think they do avoid the distinctive trouble with infinitely-big universes, and that arbitrarily-good experiences are more deeply problematic in their own right.
