Yes, just like when the readahead window set to 256, FETCH 1024
will iterate through 4 windows or FETCH 64 iterates through the
same window 4 times. This is the idea behind the "readahead window".

How about allowing the readahead window to be resized for the
non-decorated case if the runtime encounters FETCH N and N is
greater than the previous window?
