I'm picking 16 because on SSE the loop is just unrolled, and on other targets with 256-bit wide registers they could actually use the full width.
The table is always a size that is a power of 2, either
1 << 16forstate.heador between1 << 8and1 << 15forstate.prev(it's based on the window size). So it's totally legit to use chunks here, and there is no risk of ignoring elements.
