Oh...

You may be misinterpreting the VMFPLC2 file !

All VMFPLC2 "PLCD" record length are 5+((size/800)+(size%800?0:1))*800 
byte long - that is, they MUST align on a 800 byte boundary 
(notwithstanding the header).

So :

0805
1605
2405
3605
4005

are the only valid record length for PLCD tape blocks. The actual file 
contents are then determined by the FST block in the PLCH record.
