Current overhead is 2 bytes if frame is up to 125 bytes long - which I
think it's not very common,
4 bytes for up to 64k, and 10 bytes for anything larger.
IMHO adding one byte - i.e. making it fixed 5-byte, with first as is, and
next 4 fixed length would
be easiest to parse.

There are obviously too many options to encode and each has benefits - my
only concern was
that the choice of 1, 2, 8 bytes for length may not match common sizes.

( in webpush frames will be <4k ).
