  <b>leb128()</b> indicates the type of an unsigned integer. To encode the following unsigned integer <b>syntaxName</b>, it first represents the integer in binary with an N-bit representation, where N is a multiple of 7. Then break the integer up into groups of 7 bits. Output one encoded byte for each 7 bits group, from least significant to most significant group. Each byte will have the group in its 7 least significant bits. Set the most significant bit on each byte except the last byte.
 
- <b>syntaxName</b> is an unsigned integer which is encoded by <b>leb128()</b>. The size of the unsigned integer to be encoded is limited to 32 bits. In other words, the value returned from the <b>leb128()</b> parsing process is less than or equal to \(2^{32} - 1\).
+ <b>syntaxName</b> is an unsigned integer which is encoded by <b>leb128()</b>. The size of the unsigned integer to be encoded is limited to 32 bits. In other words, the value returned from the <b>leb128()</b> parsing process is less than or equal to \(2^{32} - 1\). After encoding by <b>leb128()</b>, its maximum size is limited to 8 bytes.
 
  NOTE: There are multiple ways of encoding the same value depending on how many leading zero bits are encoded. There is no requirement that this syntax descriptor uses the most compressed representation. This can be useful for encoder implementations by allowing a fixed amount of space to be filled in later when the value becomes known.
