This issue was originally discussed in #286 (comment).

The following statement

Level 5.1 is chosen for the Baseline profile to ensure that no single coded image exceeds 4k resolution, as some decoders may not be able to handle larger images.

implies that level 5.1 ensures that no single coded image exceeds 4k resolution. This is not true, because the maximum number of pixels (MaxPicSize) in level 5.1 is 8912896 > 4126 * 2160 > 4k resolution.

Leo suggesting rewording it as folllows:

Level 5.1 is chosen for the Baseline profile as some decoders may not be able to handle coded images larger than approximately 4k resolution.
