I'm not sure what a good length would be really. The max array length is
64M and the max message size is twice that, so the signature length will
probably be the limit that kicks in first and 255 feels a bit on the low
side. According to a comment in the code, the current limit is set to
make the size fit in a byte, how about making it two bytes and set the
limit to a K or two?
