And in your table, almost all use 3, and none use 7, 13 or 17.

Sounds good!

So 1104 wins over the power of 2, 1024 = 2^10.

The only example in the list using 5 as a factor.

First example not using any of the odd numbers in the list, so not using
mulmod_bknp1 at all.

I wonder if this would be beaten by 2064 = 2^4*3*43, or if this power
of two really is a winner.

It's also interesting that all these winners use 2^k with k >= 3, so
third split in mulmod_bnm1 seems to pay off measurably. 

So just rounding up to a multiple of 24 = 2^3 * 3 might be a reasonable
initial strategy (above some threshold of a likely few hundred limbs).
