longer tandem repeat identification

[jbelyeu]

I'm interested in identifying tandem repeats longer than 2kb. Have been reading through the original paper and the code to understand the current upper bound; iiuc the main limitation is based on the extent of the simulation data that's included in the init_and_fill_coin_toss_stats2000_with_4tuplesizes() function. If I run my own simulations to generate longer waitdata and sumdata arrays, could that allow detection of repeats with periods of say 10kb or am I missing other challenges?

I too am interested in calculating tandem repeats longer than 2kb.
