"If byte[] seed is not supported by an [algorithm](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/18/docs/api/java.base/java/util/random/package-summary.html#algorithms) then the no argument form of create is used." Currently only the LXM algorithms use byte[]. If other algorithms get added then the test can be expanded.

Sounds good; thanks for the additional context.
