You should not care. If you find that you care, you are most likely doing
something wrong.
SSL operates over TCP. It provides a TCP-compatible interface for the
encrypted side and a nearly-TCP-compatible interface for the unencrypted
side. TCP has no notion of record boundaries and therefore SSL's input and
output sides don't either.
Look at the BIO-pair example code.
