+1. This is, AFAIK, a proprietary protocol (on top of Bluetooth) so there’s not a lot of info about what goes over the wire.

Anyway, latency is generally a bigger issue than bandwidth. Regardless of how much or little data can fit in a packet, it’s better to send data in larger chunks to minimize the overhead of having to wait for acknowledgement of each message.

But as Hamish said: premature optimization. Just implement it first by doing “the simplest thing that could possibly work”, then try it out and see if it’s adequate. If not, optimize and iterate.
