Please note the length of vtapes is only used for the planner, not for 
the actual flushing (or direct dumping if a holding disk is not used).

Stefan is correct however: this length should still be enough (for the 
planner) for your largest DLE to fit in, given expected compression. It 
doesn't matter if the cumulative of all DLEs is a lot larger.

Cheers,
