I think you are overcounting, Andy.

It should be just 3xFIGS.  No additional LTRS are sent by the transmitter.

But yes, it still does adds up to a lot for the people looking to save milliseconds, but matters very little for the rest of us who simply enjoys RTTY QSOs, where the longer the exchange is, the more we enjoy it, HI HI.
