How to solve Blockchain 20 address gap-limit problem?

We currently offer Bitcoin withdrawals and deposits on our website. Blockchain API is used to handle all operations.

Only problem is Blockchain Receive API's 20 address gap limit, as mentioned here: http://bitcoinx.io/news/articles/blockchain-info-updates-receive-payments-api-version-to-address-edge-cases/

Now we get a lot of curious users who click on Bitcoin deposit button and commit to it without actually sending any transaction, which easily build up to 20 addresses. What are some ways of removing this limitation? I have few ideas but they are rather bulky and some require complete re-write of code and replacement of Blockchain API. Can you guys offer any insight and/or advice? How can this problem be solved in elegant and efficient way?
