It would anyway unless we’re now talking about three TCP codepoints.

Strictly, if only the CE counter changed, that could be accomplished using only 5 bytes by adding another variant, determined by the length being 5:

Kind | Length | 24-bit ECEB

At some point, the flexibility in this option needs to be supported within the option itself.
