So this is the case, and in fact it is mentioned on the HDF GDAL driver
page:
<http://www.gdal.org/frmt_hdf4.html> (section Driver building).

I was quite bemused, and thought that maybe this 33 number would change if I
ran my script on different dates or jupiter/Mars positions in the sky X-)
Glad to hear the answer is much simpler than that!

Thanks a lot,
