So I don't think that the amount of *used* space (your A) is that important in the text.  What is most relevant is the amount of space the decoder allows (the setting, your C) and the amount of space the encoder is using (your B).

If we can avoid talking too much about the occupied space, then we might be in a better position.  If we have to, we can talk about "used" or "occupied" space.

I'd like to suggest "maximum table capacity" (C), "table capacity" (B), and "table size" (A).  Would that be better?  I think that avoids the problems you are talking about by using the word "capacity".
