While checking for BCn overflow, dst is advanced by 8 bytes every loop.

It is advanced by an additional 8 bytes under these conditions in the code.

if (n == 5) {
 ...
 dst += 8;
 ...
} else {
 if (n == 2 || n == 3) {
 if (has_alpha_channel) {
 ...
 dst += 8;
 } else {
 for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
 *dst++ = ...;
 }
 }
 }

So when n is 1, it is only advanced by 8 each loop, not 16. In format terms, this is DXT1, also known as BC1.

BC1
...
the BC1 format reduces the memory required from 48 bytes (16 colors ×ばつ 3 components/color ×ばつ 1 byte/component) to 8 bytes of memory.
...
BC2
...
this compression technique reduces the memory required from 64 bytes (16 colors ×ばつ 4 components/color ×ばつ 1 byte/component) to 16 bytes of memory.
...
BC3
...
this compression technique reduces the memory required from 64 bytes (16 colors ×ばつ 4 components/color ×ばつ 1 byte/component) to 16 bytes of memory.
...
BC5
...
this compression technique reduces the memory required from 32 bytes (16 colors ×ばつ 2 components/color ×ばつ 1 byte/component) to 16 bytes.

This means we can change the check to look for 8 bytes if n is 1, rather than 16 bytes.
