Er, that defeats the purpose of using a conditional expression. If it's
too long for one line, leave it as an if...else statement.

If you insist on using the conditional expression, my preference would be:
excessblk = (
Block(total - P.BASE, srccol, carry_button_suppress=True)
if total > P.BASE else None
)
