I don't see a problem with putting a 12bit sequence number into
a 24bit field (much harder the other way around!).
--> I also think this way. But there is no explicit note about this in the
Spec, both in Q.703 or Q.2210.

The 2M/1.5M links from Q.703 Annex A certainly are used (or have
been used!). We've been asked whether we support them, but only
for 'tick box' filling, none of our customers has actually asked
us to support them (the difficulty is getting the timeslot data
through the tdm cross bar switch and the falcs without
generating a 'shear' midway through the tdm frame.

My suspicions are the the SIGTRAN protocols are being used
for any links that need to carry large traffic loads.
--> What u mean here? SIGTRAN protocols like M3UA, SUA have no restriction
on the DATA size/length by the very Standard, as they run over IP. Even
there can be(there is) a SG of M3UA-MTP3B(SAAL links) also.
