Is it ok we have leaf nodes with only HP prefix and no partial path nibbles?
For instance, if I understood well the data bellow would end up with two leaf nodes with no nibbles besides the prefix `20`, `2` for even path length (0 in these cases) and a `0` padding:

<5e 52> : ‘val1’
<ac 40> : ‘val2’
<ac 4f> : ‘val3’
