 must not use more bits when bit packing the miniblock data than would be required

-One strategy that might be employed to avoid the above mentioned overflow is to
-perform the subtraction utilizing integers with a larger number of bits. For example,
-while encoding INT32 data one might choose to perform arithmetic operations using
-64-bit integers. This can lead to situtations where the number of bits used to encode
-the resulting deltas is greater than the number of bits used to represent the input
-values. While this behavior is allowed, data produced in this manner may not be
-supported by all readers. For this reason, it is suggested that encoders use no more
-than 32 bits to encode INT32 data, and no more than 64 bits when encoding INT64 data.

 The following examples use 8 as the block size to keep the examples short,
 but in real cases it would be invalid.
