Character count will be relevant if there are extensive links or other coding. If every paragraph has a link, it'll be a lot less than 40k words; most word-count systems will assume <a href="../Text/Lamentations05.xhtml#Verse15"> is two words, and the anchor point is one word--unless the program reads it as attached to the word itself.

An anchor point & potential links to every verse is a lot of characters that don't count as extra words to most programs. But an estimate like "200k characters and then wrap it up" would still work.
