Make wait_state smaller

Previous size was 3584 bytes which is not acceptable on constrained systems
(especially on the stack). This was a misguided attempt at minimizing the
number of calls to the RNG function in order to minimize impact on
performance, but clearly this does not justify using that much RAM and a
compromise had to be found.
