I think using a large finite length would actually be good in many ways. While I haven't been thinking so much about broadcasting, I have been thinking about how to set up person-person connections over Freenet, and in that case I would want to use a number of redundant connections initiated with different keys for the sake of reliability and speed, so having keeping those on a "rolling" basis would probably be good.
