7.3.7 Section Entry Extension

Section Entry Extensions may follow Section Entries. Section Entry Extensions provide more space for selection criteria when the 13h bytes provided by the Section Entry are insufficient. There may be one or more extensions following each Section Entry. This means that a section provides 13h bytes of selection information. A section with one extension provides 43 bytes, and a section with two extension provides 73 bytes, etc. Table 20 describes a Section Entry Extension.
