I'm pretty sure MAX here is to be taken literally, not as a placeholder.
The change Tom proposes has no effect on the number of verifiers that
can be encoded, or on the encoding when at least one verifier is
present.  However, it reduces the encoding size by something like 4
octets when no verifiers are present.
