The u8 size field can't wrap or contain the payload itself.  To be more
technically accurate, please rephrase "encapsulates".

EC_LPC_HOST_PACKET_SIZE is only for LPC.  Protocol SPI uses another value
(e.g., SPI_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE).

How about:

    max_size = min(ec->ec_dev->max_request - extra_bytes,
                   sizeof(param->set_program_ex.size));
