Yes,lots of room left. Currently design uses 48 of 72 cells and could be
squeezed into 36 (for $1.00 part if needed)
RC osc is only a few cells but current PCB has a
separate XTAL osc and RC osc (with 74HC14) So I'd need a new PCB for a builtin
RC osc. Ring osc needs no pins but has less predictable frequency
Design is fairly de-luxe: 15 count input filters, 8 selectable division ratios
(1 to 255 range) selectable index edge polarity. Lots of squeezing possible,
but I just did it in the simplest fastest way by copy+paste.

Should not be too hard, no fine pitch parts, smallest is 0805 resistors and
capacitors, most parts could be dropped (theres a selectable frequency RC osc,
a push button with debounce, a Xtal osc can (8pin half size) 4 LEDS, jtag
connector, 2 26 pin I/O connectors etc
With existing filter max encoder count rate is ~1/8 FOSC (FOSC up to 50 MHz or
so)

CPLD is 3.3V power but 5V tolerant I/O. Seems to run fine on 2 AA cells or 5V
with two diode drops...
