For the record:
I found this to be caused by allocation padding (and I was most irritated
by the fact that in the case I tested it turned out to yield /exactly/ the
same number of usable space regardless of having two more data disks).
Anyway, I found this table very helpful, so I'd like to share the link
(even if this may be well-known to others already, it took me some time to
find it):
