Yes, it LGTM too.

"long" is a signed 8 bytes everywhere except on Windows, where it is 4
bytes, and passing a number of tuples more than the 4-byte limit could
potentially expose it to overflows.

-Wfloat-conversion tells me there are other such uses [1] (haven't
checked in depth whether these are worth fixing, and even if they need
to be, in a separate thread of course).

+1 to back-patch to PG19 (assuming we have another release after RC2
before the planned GA on Nov 19th) to avoid the overflow issues and
keep the version diff small.
