You are incorrect on one thing. The size of the House is not determined by constitution. The only things it guarantees are that there’s a census and that each state gets at least one.

It also demands that apportionment of representatives be according to the population of the states.

So, yes, the total number isn't fixed but the apportionment is.

if I recall correctly the specific rules for apportionment aren’t part of the constitution either are they?
