Yes, I understand why the next patch updates the way, that we don't assume there
is always 1 extent.  It just seemed to me that parsing length and size would be
nice to move to that function as it's used only in that function.

Yes, I know that we are not appending but filling existing array that was
allocated earlier, I just didn't mentioned it.  But we don't need to
pre-allocate the array but just simply use append_element.  The main point was
that the allocation is again outside of the new function and that's not a good
practice.
