I provided the SA22-7643-03 page reference in my first post.  Here is the
text:

A message indicates the number of bytes added to the control section and the
offset, relative to the start of the control section, where the expansion
begins. The effective length of the expansion is given in hexadecimal and
can be greater than the specified length if, after the specified expansion,
padding bytes must be added for alignment of the next control section or
named common area.

I also think we can reasonably leave this topic now.  Those who wish to
assemble patch areas into executables are of course free to do so, as they
have been since 1965.  I prefer the EXTEND mechanism because it extends the
patch unit, a program object, not one of its components, and for the other
reasons I have mentioned.
