From: Alastair D'Silva <redacted> This patch removes the hardcoded row limits and allows for other lengths. These lengths must still be a multiple of groupsize. This allows structs that are not 16/32 bytes to display on a single line. This patch also expands the self-tests to test row sizes up to 64 bytes (though they can now be arbitrarily long).
