That makes sense.

If we have that convenient constant, it seems equivalent (I think) and a
bit more clear to write it this way, but I'm not wedded to it:
if (len + saveFreeSpace > MaxHeapTupleSize &&
len <= maxPaddedFsmRequest)
{
...
targetFreeSpace = maxPaddedFsmRequest;
}
else
targetFreeSpace = len + saveFreeSpace;
Also, should I write a regression test for it? The test case is already
available, just no obvious place to put it.
