The field is mainly used to ease the data parsing. There was only
data[0] used, so I decided to make it into a single element array to
avoid changing the size of the structure....

But you are correct, it looks more clear as a flex array and there is
no allocation or sizeof() so I think it is safe to change its size.

Will squash with the MBIN_SEGMENT_T patch also

Thanks!
