The extsize flag is relatively recent though, and traditionally
realtime files could have had their extsize explicitly set with
no associated extsize flag (thats just how it was implemented,
originally, in realtime).

But, not many people use realtime, even fewer would be using the
extent size option with realtime (like, none?, on Linux anyway)
... so, you could pretty much make whatever rule you like.

cheers.
