If you need to visualise this, let me draw it:

bytes (with nibbles): | . | . | . | . | . | . || . | . | . | . | . | . |
                      | addr 1          |len1 || addr 2          |len2 |
your forced layout:   |               |                |               |
my layout:            |               |       ||               |       |

Note how this actually matches the border between the border between the
two descriptors, the || border.

_Please_, just fix it, this is _way_ easier than the forced layout
you're doing.
