Removed the non-normative comment about 4kB pages. The observation of typical behavior isn't especially useful here, and at least one person has interpreted the comment to imply some kind of limit. Replace the text with something less likely to be construed as a limit.

They are made up of packet segments of 255 bytes each. There can be as many as
255 packet segments per page, for a maximum page size of a little under 64 kB.
This is not a practical limitation as the segments can be joined across
