The table below shows the size of a single component file, in bytes, for increasing sizes of original file, in bytes, and increasing number of component files.
For an original null file of zero bytes each component file is 5 bytes regardless of the number of component files.
For an original file of 1 or 2 bytes each component file is 6 bytes regardless of the number of component files.
If the original file has 12 or more bytes each component is always smaller than the original file.
