This particular block of code appears unnecessary (since $padding is unused).

For safety, the conditions should probably be [ 0 -ge ${paddingsize} ]
I don't see any alternative to the until loop. If efficiency turns out
to be a real issue then you could try doing the expansion in multiple
goes. Eg:
until [ 8 -gt ${paddingsize} ]; do
padding=" $padding"
paddingsize=$(($paddingsize - 8))
done
until [ 0 -ge ${paddingsize} ]; do
padding=" $padding"
paddingsize=$(($paddingsize - 1))
done
