This recipe to join them will only work up to kern.argmax argument
total bytes of file names, that is, for a value of 262144 and
minimal filenames (xaa ...)
length files bytes used bytes left filenames
3+1 25*26 2600 259544 xaa...xyz
5+1 25*26*26 101400 158144 xzaaa...xzyzz
7+1 26*26*26 140608 17536 xzzaaaa...xzzaazz
7+1 3*26*26 16224 1312 xzzabaa...xzzadzz
7+1 6*26 1248 64 xzzaeaa...xzzaefz
7+1 8 64 0 xzzaega...xzzaegh
To fully use the third level (again, with the minimal prefix) we
need argmax=3619200.
Other than that, sounds good.
