I've realized that submessage size is needed because field numbers of message and submessage can be the same. But we can use fields members count instead of the size. It makes decoding fields of submessages like iterating array members. In case of three fields we just write 3 as size. It's lesser than size and can make messages even smaller in case of submessages larger than 127 bytes (1 byte instead of two).
