-If no `w' specifier is given, the default length of a text block (to be more
-precise, the line length used to process the text block diversion) is given

+If `w' specifiers are not given for all columns of a text block span, the
+default length of the text block (to be more precise, the line length used
+to process the text block diversion) is computed as L\[tmu]C/(N+1), where

 Note, however, that the actual diversion width as given in register
 .B \[rs]n[dl]
 is used eventually as the text block width.
