 5 and elwidth being 32, this is the 5th element
 offset (in 32 bit quantities) counting from r1.
 
+*Programmer's note: accessing registers that have been placed 
+starting on a non-contiguous boundary (half-way along a scalar
+register) can be inconvenient: REMAP can provide an offset but
+it requires extra instructions to set up.  A simple solution
+is to ensure that MAXVL is rounded up such that the Vector
+ends cleanly on a contiguous register boundary.  MAXVL=6 in
+the above example would achieve that*
