Unfortionatly it's not always size that's the issue. For example in my
code I need to split when a request crosses a certain boundary, and without
going into too much detail, that boundary is 62 Kb aligned, not 64
(for technical reasons ;().
Size won't catch this and while a 64Kb Kb block will always be split, that
you can be sure of, even a 4Kb request, if unlucky, can have the need to
split up.
