In general you should allocate seperate pieces. Use the call for
AllocRaster. Future machines may have to obey some alignment

followed then greater speed could be realized, maybe for a
32bit blitter, ya, that's the ticket.

Although I do contract work for Amiga-LosGatos, my opinions probably
don't represent those of Commodore or its management or its engineers,
but I think the world would be a better place if they did.
