Hrm.  Should we use -p <extra_space> instead of -S <total_space>?
Seems someone added this DTC commit last November:

        commit 2b7dc8dce549ad72ad437b254bf756d7ba4c2a5a
        Author: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
        Date:   Wed Nov 28 10:21:12 2007 -0600
        
            Add an option to pad the blob that is generated
        
            There are times when we need extra space in the blob and just want
            to have it added on w/o know the exact size to make it.
        
            The padding and min size options are mutually exclusive.

A thought,
