Block structure is only applicable to 1-width of execution
and fails for all other widths.....
So the question becomes:: is your architecture designed for exactly
one width of execution ???

Well, the VLIW mode is designed for eight-wide execution. But it
can also work well with four-wide or two-wide, I would think, since
it could still specify more efficient execution for those.
But one can also choose to run in VLIW mode; then, the instruction
stream is divided into blocks of eight 32-bit instructions, with
one block header to indicate instruction predication.
