Is the Ci = 0 card for pile boundaries 2 bytes?
Yes.
Is there a final Ci = 0 card after the last pile?
No.
In the message frame definition diagram, Cn is at the position 8n-1, 8n.
What exactly does 'n' represent?
Yes, that was messed up. There are 52 cards in a tableau. If the tableau has
P piles, there will be P - 1 separator cards. The total number of cards (or,
perhaps more accurately, card positions in the message) is n = 52 + P - 1.
There's an overhead of six bytes per message; the 52 tableau cards take up 52*2
bytes; the separator cards take up 2(P - 1) bytes.
This has been fixed in the project page; thanks for pointing it out.
