In the 128-2048 range (at least on that machine: shell.gmplib.org) the
sizes multiple of 12, 24, 48... should be preferred...

I don't fully understand this, but if I got it right, we want the size n to be divisible by 2^k, for mulmod_bnm1 to be able to split a few times.
But we don't need a very large k, since we have diminishing returns for
each split.

And for the new mulmod_bknp1 to fit, we also need n to be divisible by
one of certain small odd numbers, currently 3, 5, 7, 13, 17.

Yes, with a larger expected gain for 3, and a smaller one for 13, or 17.

I think it would make sense to first select k (maybe a constant, or
growing very slowly with n, which might ask for a tuned table), say 2 <=
k <= 5 for the size range of interest. And then round n upwards to the
closest multiple of one of 2^k * {3, 5, 7, 13, 17}. Hmm, or maybe to
make it more complex, one of 2^{k,k-1} * {3, 5, 7, 13, 17}, it that
let's us avoid growth. It would be nice if we could find a set of
candidates that guarantees that we don't have to increase size more
than, say, 10%, but not sure if that's possible.

It should be possible to not increase too much.

The following is a list of the best sizes wrt time spent in mulmod_bnm1.
Extracted in the range 1024..2048.
I'm not sure the program I wrote really shows what is needed.
Nevertheless, if the list contains 1008 and 1080, this means that for every size in the range (1080..1080) the time for a multiplication using that size is larger than the time spent by the last point in the interval.
