This is ABI between the guest BIOS and Guest OS. It is defined in the OVMF.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/Include/Guid/ConfidentialComputingSevSnpBlob.h

SEV-SNP FW spec does not have it documented; it's up to the guest BIOS
on how it wants to communicate the Secrets and CPUID page location to
guest OS.

Yes, the length is never going to be > 4GB.
