LMB could do this too with minor modifications.

Simply make the lmb.memory and lmb.reserved be pointers, and initially
they point into the static array(s).

Later the pointers can be repositioned to point to dynamically
allocated memory.

So please, for the third time, please show me how LMB with some minor
modifications is not able to satisfy your needs.
