No, I mean the number that's used to hold the length of the field is a byte, but that it's not just a simple byte. It's encoded to handle very long fields in that byte, but there's some loss of precision. For instance, and I'm pulling numbers out of thin air here, fields of 1-25 terms may collapse to the same length value. Same with 26-100 etc. But I really don't know the details of what the buckets are.
