Since the default ext4 group desc size is 64 now (assuming that the
64-bit feature is enbled). And the size mentioned in this doc is 64 too.
Change it to 64.

32-bit blockgroup descriptors aren't that ancient of a disk format, it's
probably helpful to mention that one should double the ratios for ^64bit
filesystems.
Also: Not sure what went wrong with your emptyish To: line?
If Ted's ok with this, then:
