How do you calculate record size of an alternate cluster? Give your values for both unique and nonunique?

UniqueCase: 5 + (alt-key-length + primary - key )
Non unique Case: 5 + (alt-key-length + n * primary - key ) where n = number of duplicate records for the alternate key
Non unique Case: 5 + (alt-key-length + n * primary - key ) where n = number of duplicate records for the alternate key
