Your questions are not annoying.

This is off-topic, but you appear to be perhaps new to Ada. May I ask
why you are looking into address arithmetic? Maybe this is a asm/C
habit that you are transferring to Ada. I'm not an Ada expert but
there may well be other ways to accomplish what you want without using
address arithmetic which I believe is generally frowned upon except in
certain circumstances. You might find record-representation clauses to
be useful.
