you can either record the tails off the 4 bar loop by extending the length of audio recorded to say five bars, and then running two audio tracks one under the other. you can also use clip envelopes to fade audio files in and out slightly to avoid anyclicks etc etc.
for the purpose of writing id either just move the midi parts around until you have a complete arrangement then bounce the entire track, or i would just accept that the pad isnt going to sound exactly like it will on the end bounce and keep that in mind while composing.
