The data subframe is divided in UP TO 256 equal chunks.
The size of each minislot is a multiple of a OFDM symbol.
If you have 200 OFDM symbols for the data subframe, then thats the
number of minislots you have.
If you have 400 OFDM symbols, you still have 200 minislots of size
(2*OFDM symbol).
Thats what the formula says :).
