It's likely that the extra text is just scraps that were edited out in the final version. I'll do some checking to make sure the extra doesn't appear ingame and see if we might be able to use the extra space for the translation without introducing bugs.I did the research and the simple version is, there's good evidence that some text blocks can be longer than the lengths I quoted earlier. Below is the list. The "+" values are added to the max lengths I quoted earlier.
Block5 +56
Block6 +11
Block9 +34
Block14 +1098
Block15 +17
Block17 +376
Block18 +157
Block19 +136
Block21 +23
Block24 +663
Block27 +237
Block29 +9
Block30 +40
Block32 +105
Block34 +34
Block35 +23
Block36 +46
Block37 +3
It's also likely, that block#37 (which is nearly identical to #38) isn't used in the game. I'll work on the movies now.
