Fixed in my local copy.

The script is not conflicting with the draft, as it does ensure that the length
is not less than the raw header text. Though, to your point, it adds an
additional buffer to further ensure that the header will always have some '='
characters wrapping around the header, for readability, in the unlikely
scenario that such a narrow-width is needed. I could go either way on this,
does anyone else have an opinion?
