Why would different message sizes be a problem? Say I have three messages:
AA

BB
CC
Now I add message D from the top in several different ways.
In this case you remove message AAAA fully when adding DD:

BB
CC
Though you could just as easily retain the latter portion of message AAAA:
DD
AA
BB
CC
Inversely, if the new message DD is triple the size:
DD
DD

CC
I don't see a problem.
