Just to be completist (and possibly completely ridiculous) I'll mention an alternative option;
- store the desired values in the image
- make it possible to change the assorted zone sizes at runtime

I totally understand that the work to do that may be absurd verging into DaDa. The (faintly) plausible advantage would be runtime tuning as a system grows, allowing adaptive strategies etc, etc, {insert buzzword here}
