I can't read Miller's mind, of course, but I could imagine that the idea
is to have arbitrary block sizes so that it is possible to match the
block size to video frames or lines of a video frame or whatever. Then
you could use Pd's DSP engine to process video data in real time. 

Does that answer your question?
