Why would they be allocated as the humanly-imaginable worst-case for usage of the library? Bounded textual strings are not allocated as the maximum universally-conceivable textual string length of megabytes long. Bounded simply means: pick a modest upper bound and stick to it, say, 128-bit integer for bounded bignum or 32-character string for bounded textual string.
