Section 1.10 says:
This format is applicable for non-skippable extensions that carry information of more that 256 bytes. . . . Since the Length field is 16 bits wide, the extension data can exceed 256 bytes in length.
It should say:
This format is applicable for non-skippable extensions that carry information of more that 254 bytes. . . . Since the Length field is 16 bits wide, the extension data can exceed 254 bytes in length.
Notes:
Since the short extension form defined in section 1.11 can only carry up to 254 bytes of data, all extensions with 255 or more bytes needs to use the long extension.
