Note that I'm not sure at all of what follows:
The vertical spacing algorithm does not use all the space left when
stretching systems, but let some part unoccupied, in case some heights
were underestimated (and thus avoiding overful hbox), streching being
based on extent estimations. This "security" amount is hard coded.
