If memory serves (and I think it does, because the IM wording seems to
agree), it is the length of the data, so that the offset from type n to
type n+1 is 8 + stated length plus any of several ways to add one if the
result is odd.  [And checking for having run out of data wouldn't hurt at
that point.  ;-) ]

Yes.  (See above.)
