A longer post, just being added to this thread, on the details of encoding in uniform length 155 bit code, explains how one could keep the ep and castle type overhead from affecting the special positions (the so-called "worst case" positions) by several bits, while not affecting the vast majority of the remaining positions at all. The method detailed in that new post shows how one can spread this overhead so it takes exactly its average value (which is in a fraction of a bit) equally in every position, and without any "worst" case positions.
