Right. However sometimes program closes file and then reopens it again. In such case RLSE shouldn't be used. IMHO you should use use extended format PS, considering compression (SMF data tend to compress quite well). In such case you won't met 64k tracks limit and have 123-extent limit.
I also would start without RLSE.
