Does anybody else have an idea on these?
 
I would need to know the following:
        *  what should the size of the strip be to be considered for this strip-chopping process?
        *  what is the maximum size of the individual "chopped" strip?
              Bob mentioned of a default libtiff strip size.  Anybody got an idea on the exact figure of the default?
        *  For compressed files, the minimum strip size likely depends on compression type and parameters.  Can anyone expound on this?
 
 
Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

No, I do not. For uncompressed files, strips can easily be generated 
at any size and I assume that they use (or are close to) the default 
libtiff strip size. For compressed files, the minimum strip size 
likely depends on compression type and parameters. Even then, libtiff 
could emulate smaller strips by allocating its own memory (not what 
you wanted to hear!).
