Hi,
Maybe i'm wrong but this should be easily solved by an
autovacuum_no_truncate_empty_pages or an autovacuum_empty_pages_limit
GUC/reloption.
Just to clarify the second one autovacuum will allow until that limit
of empty pages, and will remove excess from there
We can also think in GUC/reloption for next_extend_blocks so formula
is needed, or of course the automated calculation that has been
proposed
