I'd question the entire statement about padding.
The padding isn't part of the parameter, but exists between parameters.

So something like:
    If the SI parameter does not contain a multiple of four SIs the Length
    will not be a multiple of 4 and there will be pad bytes following the
    parameter.
would be more correct.
