Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a loop.
