* all 32 and 16-bit values are actually to be truncated to 11 bit
* all 8-bit values to 5-bit
-from these we can write out:
+from these we can write out the allocations, bearing in mind that
+in each partition the sub-signal must start on a power-2 boundary,
+and that "x" marks unused (padding) portions:
|31| | | 16|15| | 8|7 0 |
- 32bit | | | | | | |10 .... 0 |
- 16bit | | |26 ... 16 | | |10 .... 0 |
- 8bit | |28.24| 20.16| |12 .. 8| 4.. 0 |
+ 32bit | x| x| x| x| x| x|10 .... 0 |
+ 16bit | x| x|26 ... 16 | x| x|10 .... 0 |
+ 8bit | x|28.24| 20.16| x|12 .. 8|x|4.. 0 |
thus, we deduce, we *actually* need breakpoints at these positions,
-and that unused portions are at "x"
+and that unused portions common to **all** cases can be deduced
+and marked "x"
|28|26|24| |20|16| |12|10|8| |4 0
