I am not familiar with the underlying technology but from a perspective of someone who is new to Freenet it seems ridiculous and counter-intuitive to require so much extra space in the datastore. If your FEC decoding needs so much disk space, couldn't you use some extra hard drive space on a temporary basis, instead of using up the datastore? That would make the limitation be the amount of free space on the hard disk, and dramatically decrease the number of users who see this error.
