Well, in 1884 both the UA and AA actually had 13 members.
In the AA's case, one team came in later in the season to replace a team that had dropped out.
In the UA's case, one team relocated (often being listed as a separate team as a result), and 4 teams entered the league later on in the season to replace teams that had dropped out. So, if you only count the teams that actually started the season in the UA, it'd be only 8 teams.
So you could just make the UA an 8 team league, and leave out the teams that only played a few games in the UA. And you could just exand the AA to 10 teams instead of 12; this way you get some of the expansion that actually took place, while keeping within the limitations that OOTP provides.
Just a thought...
