According to the wiki [1], eh_depth cannot be larger than 5: Depth of this extent node in the extent tree. 0 = this extent node points to data blocks; otherwise, this extent node points to other extent nodes. The extent tree can be at most 5 levels deep: a logical block number can be at most 2^32, and the smallest n that satisfies 4*(((blocksize - 12)/12)^n) >= 2^32 is 5.
