It's been almost a year since v1 was posted, could you iterate quicker? :(

I remain somewhat confused about what this does.
Specifically IIUC the problem is that the radix of each node is
limited, so we need to start creating multi-layer hierarchies 
if we want a higher radix. Or in the "5-layer mode" the radix 
is automatically higher?
