(In my initial reading I assumed the statement was vacuously true in that every metadata block has at least the MID encoded in at least one byte, so the palette block is obviously at least one byte, as any block would be, but that doesn't make much sense in the context of "form a number N", unless we're supposed to re-use the MID byte's bits? But I'm pretty sure that's not what was intended.)
The MID 1 section of the spec says:
It's not clear what the "at least one byte" part of this means. Since N cannot be negative, and there's always N+1 colors, wouldn't a more accurate statement be "at least two bytes"? It may be clearer to just say "The low 6 bits of the first byte of the metadata block after the MID form a number N...".
