Yeah. The header allows for block dimensions up to 255, and the width and
height can be different from each other.
They can technically be changed in each keyframe header, but I’ve not tested
how the decoder handles that..

It’s almost ingenious, the way it manages that. I almost didn’t want to change
it..

Thanks :)
