We use 237212 sectors for the c partition on our RA80 and we have had no
problems reading the end of the disk.  I got this number by reading the
end of the c partition using dd and examining the diagnostic output.
I think the c partition is supposed to include the bad sector forwarding
info and maybe the RA80 manual doesn't inlcude this when it lists the
disk size.
