Not necessarily--it depends on 1) whether you are formatting or re-writing, and 2) the actual length of the bitstream. If you are re-writing to a disk, if you increase the number of trailing 0's written by lengthening the time between reloads, then you might need to decrease the number of nibbles written to fit within a pre-formatted sync space.
