For the **BOM**‑less **UTF‑16** charsets, this can simply return `value.length 
<< (1 ‑ coder())`[^1]:

Suggestion:

        if (cs instanceof sun.nio.cs.UTF_16LE ||
            cs instanceof sun.nio.cs.UTF_16BE) {
            return value.length << (1 - coder());
        }
        return getBytes(cs).length;


[^1]: Lone surrogates get replaced with `U+FFFD` when encoding to **UTF‑16** by 
[`String​::getBytes​(Charset)`], and all of **LATIN1** can be encoded in 
**UTF‑16**.

[`String​::getBytes​(Charset)`]: 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.nio.charset.Charset)

Maybe avoid creating intermediate strings in a loop to avoid excess GC pressure?
Suggestion:

    var stringDataBuilder = new StringBuilder(stringLength + 1);
    while (stringDataBuilder.length() < stringLength) {
      stringDataBuilder.append((char) (Math.random() * 26) + 'a');
    }
    stringData = stringDataBuilder.append(c).toString();
