Could the offset be aligned before max_len is calculated, or could the final
size be capped after alignment?

The new cap bounds pos->size only before offset % align is added back. With
-o 1 -w 4096, pos->size starts at zero and can then grow to 4095 bytes, so
-o still is not an upper bound. This also affects the existing fsx05 entry,
which combines -o 1024 with -w 4096.

Verdict - Needs revision
