Hi, I’ve never tried it, but you would likely need to manipulate your library so that it was divided into portions that don’t exceed the iTunes Match limitations. You then would match that group of songs, downloading the upgraded versions. Once you have the upgraded version, you can change to the next library and do the same. Certainly not the intended use for the iTunes Match service and it could have a few extra steps beyond that if you attempted it. There could also be some underlying checks within iTunes Match that made it more difficult, but I’m not aware of them.
