It indicates the number of bytes used for each scan line.
This is important as some programs round line increment to multiples of two
or four bytes.

OK, I think I can see the haze here...
If I store a PIC file of an area of the screen in MODE 8, which measures 202 pixels across, that is not exactly divisible by 2. You need 100 bytes to store the first 200 pixels and an extra 2 bytes to store the last 2 pixels (due to the fact that 1 word stores 4 pixels).
As a result, the PIC header would need to read:
$4AFC
202
50 (presuming height of area is 50 lines)
102
8
Is this correct??
