It depends on the types in the message. Some are padded, some are
aligned, if there's no message body they header is padded and so on. It
should all be in http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html

If you want another datapoint, feel free to look at the Java
implementation. The code is in org/freedesktop/dbus/Message.java
