That outermost computation in fact is the only one that can overflow: it is an addition between a user-provided base offset `B` and a layout offset `L`. `L` is guaranteed not to overflow, by construction (as `L` is derived from a layout path). But `B` + `L` might overflow, so the new logic checks for that.
