But don't ship such files outside your office... When using Compression=3 or 4, I'd stick to SamplesPerPixel=1, PhotometricInterpretation=0, and RowsPerStrip=ImageLength!

WHAT? You can't be serious! What if your ImageLength and ImageWidth is 10000, 20000, or more? For G3 compression you should stick to the "8k" rule for RowsPerStrip. For G4 this may ruin your compression rate; if you have only one or two scan lines in a strip, 2D compression does not make much sense, in this case you should be more lax about the "8k" rule, and use at least (say) 100 scan lines per strip.
