2.1.5 Match Lengths

The minimum match length (number of bytes) encoded by LZXD is 2 bytes, and the maximum match length is 32,768 bytes. However, no match of any length can span a modulo 32-KB boundary in the uncompressed stream. Match-length encoding is combined with match-position encoding as described in section 2.6. Match length can be larger than the repeated offset, which means the matched substrings can overlap.
