Expect roll nums following the old procedure.
In order to keep all entropy we could in case of sequence lengths unequal to powers of the number of dice sides just discard rolls and require further ones, until we get a number in the allowed range. But this could potentially require an endless number of rolls. Instead we implement the following policy: If R=log(<sequence_len>) with <number_of_dice_sides> as basis is >= 1, we require int(R) rolls. We will ignore elements in the sequence with index > int(R). Sample: For 6 dice sides and a sequence of 215 (= 6**3 - 1) elements R would be log_6(215) = 2.9975... but we would pick an element from the range [0..35], i.e. (6**2 - 1). If R is 0, we will require exactly one roll, if <sequence_length> is a divisor of <dice_sides>. In all other cases, <sequence_length> is not a divisor of <dice_sides> and <sequence_length> is shorter than the number of dice_sides. In this case we will roll dice until we get a result in [1..<sequence_length>]. Other rolls will simply be discarded.
