Don't overcomplicate things.  Just count mono scripts as 16k as well. 
The average size of them is less than 16k, so it's still a conservative 
number.

We don't need perfection.  The person with 255 scripts in each shoe will 
still show up as using a lot.  Splitting hairs over kilobyte perfect 
accuracy is pointless.
