That is hard to say. There still are a lot of redundancies within this
encoding: there might be still of illegal or impossible positions to be
encoded, and some very theoretically extisting extreme promotion situations
will have an excessive length.

I think, that it would be best to use that code to encode all positions
of a set of PGN data, estimating an average length of more practical
relevance than I have estimated.

Nevertheless I think, the limit might be around 2*(10^43) as I have read
from N. Petrovic.
