No, but one probably wouldn't want to map less that the snippet size.
And there probably isn't a reason to map more either.

You want to touch the first page that isn't mapped?
Do you also want to map a certain number of pages?
I.e fill an entire page table and have the invalid pointer be mapped by another segment table entry?

With a small linker script change the snippet could know it's own length.
Then you could map just the required number of pages and don't need to keep those numbers in sync.
