Not sure this is correct (VBS sizing). If I remember correctly
VBS was handling telemetry data which could be quite long and was
also variable in size per record.

Well, not really.
There is LRECL=X, but besides we have not very strict
limitation of LRECL. It is 32760 or 32767.
First value is limited by JCL syntax, but the second is
available when allocation PS using LIKE= keyword.
Of course one may automagically write segments with
custom-created SDWs, but I would call it cheating.
BTW: The purpose of VBS was not veeeeeeery long record, but
records up to 32k, even on DASD with shorter track. Hint: the
track is natural limit of BLKSIZE. It is no longer important
since 3380 (80's), because track size exceeded 32k.
