=> I did this for the ISC AFTR code (the partner asked for).

=> yes, it is not hard even the alignment constraints are not too
easy to handle (I coded it in two parts, first compute an ideal
fragment size, second integrate alignment constraints to produce
fragments with the same size at the exception of the last one).
I didn't see a huge difference but it looks better on the wire,
no tiny last fragement for instance...
