Gadgets and Bob images can be of any width you wish.  My Programmer's Guide
used a 16-bit wide image for the Bob example deliberately, only to make it
possible to see exactly how the data was laid out in memory as compared
to that for a VSprite.  If you want to test it out, just copy the data
for the Bob several times, side by side, and specify the width of the result.
You'd get S!S!S!S!S!,,,, whatever wide, moving just fine.
