I agree.  You cannot depend on Google's span to be identical to
yours.  It may apply an unknown amount of padding.

You may be able to use the following:

    ~~(21-(Math.log(Math.max(x/X,y/Y))/Math.LN2))

where:

    X = static map width
    Y = static map height
    x = Math.abs(LToX(Lon0)-LToX(Lon1));
    y = Math.abs(LToY(Lat0)-LToY(Lat1));

"~~" performs integer truncation.

The relevant section regarding server modification of Google's images
is 10.2.
