Observation: length of each object is encoded in a variable length format and is not constrained to 32-bit or anything.

Example: Base offset is 4 000 000 000, delta relative offset would be 3 000 000 000. The computed delta offset would thus be 1 000 000 000. The number 3 000 000 000 must fit in the data type returned here.
