Every step is two bytes. This is true for all 34S instructions except the three letter alpha commands (which take four bytes). To be comparable to the 41 programs, there should be a LBL'RFC instead of LBL A at the start I think.

END is also interesting. If it is the final END in RAM space, it costs zero bytes. If it is between two programs it costs two bytes. I'm don't remember if the final END in the backup area or the library area costs two bytes or not.

I think we should count the END as in real life usage you have more than one program in your calculator. So the 8-step program with a LBL'RFC instead of LBL A is 18 bytes.
