I suspect you also need a sanity check that the value isn't too small
or stupidly large.

In principle slightly short lengths presumably imply that the disk
was formatted with an older standard - so the last fields should be
ignored.
They may not be any such disks - until the on-disk structure is extended
and the kernel structure updated to match.
