Carries out computation of the target length for a specified-length element.
This is not a SuspendableExpression because the dfdl:length property cannot
be forward referencing. However, it can refer backward to elements that have
dfdl:outputValueCalc or variables that have not yet been computed. So we have
to retry this in order to get the target length used to compute the amount of
padding or the amount of unused space.
