Table 2. For each genome length, 100 trials were performed.

200,000	16	21	0.86	17.78	17.61
500,000	18	23	0.91	19.09	18.93

100,000,000	25	30	1.02	26.89	26.58

The minimum, the maximum and the average, together with the standard deviation, of mrl + 1 was computed for each trial set. With a good approximation lg₂(|R|) ≈ avg(mrl(R) + 1).
