 files.

 > We can do this by finding out the current length of sbws and torflow
 lines, multiplying it by 4x, then rounding up to the nearest power of two.

 Why multiplying it by 4x?

 Longest lines in the examples are 216 characters for sbws (including
 errors) and 237 characters for Torflow. Nearest power of 2 for 237*4 is
 1024.

 > Maybe we should wait until sbws has added all the new fields?

 216 is the number for sbws including all the current planned fields.
