>From page 1735:

"The data consists of a significant part and a non-significant part.
[...] The non-significant part extends the Advertising and Scan
Response data to 31 octets and shall contain all-zero octets."

So actually it is not variable length, it has 31 octets, with the
non-significant part zero padded. BR/EDR EIR, on the other hand is 240
bytes (with zero padding for non-significant part as well)
