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.
