I only re-code for myself. Ans I have been doing this for almost 13Y.
FWIW I started with a 5" RMSDK based device whe there wer block number on the right edge that smeared the last letters of text when the showed.
My solution was to adjust the body margins and text size:
The right margin gave it room for 3 digits
by raising the text size, it became larger relative to the numbers. The pros have tricks that are needed to work on less compliant devices.(Kobo is a friendly device to code for)
Code:
body {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 2pt;
margin-right: 16pt;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-align: justify;
}

I find 6% too large and a waste of space. I use 0.8em top/bottom margin for most chapter titles. But if I was making eBooks for sale, I'd use 1em top/bottom for chapter titles.
