It does not say that something like TYPE_4_BYTE_ABGR absolutely cannot use 
bands.
It just points out that if you use a smaller data buffer type you can store 
less data *in a DataBuffer* than with a larger one,
with the end result being more of a limitation on the image size.

This result just scales with the number of bands used.
