The model is that the content of each Transport Parameter is built by QUIC, whereas they are encoded by TLS.

FWIW, the transition to the current model was made in #1608. During the time (late 2018), we discussed the possibility of moving the TP ID and length fields to varints as well, see https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/quic/KMSoDdUGs-R7P_GfcBJTxvJARiw, and we decided to not, some stating that it's already late. #3020 was not the first time discussing the issue.
