I think it is better to stick to storing data in a row wise fashion (by
variant, SNP, record).

Queries are typically row based. Speedy parallel processing will be possible
when all rows are independent of each other.

Only the header should go in a separate block.

I don't think you should be concerned with multiple reference genomes
at this point. Just skip that for now. I think that information does
not have to go in the storage. Unless you start storing reference
genomes themselves.
