   Sorry for the delay here. I don't like the proposed approach because it 
starts decoding a block in `InitHeader`. This makes the code more complicated 
and brittle.
   
   I think we can do simpler. We know that each miniblock requires at least one 
byte for its bitwidth.
   So the check can look like:
   ```c++
       const int64_t required_blocks = CeilDiv(total_value_count_ - 1, 
values_per_block_);
       if (required_blocks * mini_blocks_per_block > decoder_->bytes_left()) { 
/* throw exception */ }
   ```
