As was said would be better to handle it out of this series. And I
expect none is really describing fpga designs by hand and using DT
generator for it. But I can't see any issue with checking that we are
not exceeding certain limit.
Just keep in your mind that every bank has max 32 lines.
It means if you say bank0 40, bank1 10 which is in total 50 it will pass
your condition in 5/5.
It means maybe checking every bank separately is better approach.

Thanks,
Michal
