Yeah, the same thing occurred to me in the shower this morning, and it
does seem to work! We can replace both loops with a %= operator, at
least if we're willing to assume C99 division semantics, which seems
pretty safe in 2023. Your idea of doing a range check to skip the
division in typical cases is a refinement I'd not thought of, but
it seems like a good idea for performance.

(I see that the negative-starting-point case isn't covered in the
current regression tests, so maybe we better add a test for that.)
