Well, but the size needed for this should be a constant, so it should
be sufficioent to determine  it  once  and  then  use  a  hard  coded
constant; eventually add some padding.

Doing this in runtime is a waste of resources (flash memory, RAM, and
time - not to mention human time for maintaining the code).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
