The push data code currently sends packets with MAX_PAYLOAD. This allows some checks to be dropped. For example, the check if data must be send out is just a check if the current data still can be copied to the output buffer. But this would also mean that data with a size larger than (MAX_PAYLOAD - sizeof(struct alfred_push_data_v0)) may trigger an empty packet.
This is not a problem by itself because currently the data + header in the dataset cannot be larger than (MAX_PAYLOAD - sizeof(struct alfred_push_data_v0)).
