Just query each archive for the total uncompressed data. While the 'real' code+data is less than the size of the banks, the banks are always ^2.

The goal here isn't to tell the real file sizes, the goal here is to estimate the "effective" file size without any padding. Padding can be at places other than the end of the file.
