If you want it to be FAT-16 I would suggest not doing /PRIO:2048 but instead /PRIO:2047 or even less, because for the common CHS geometry .../254/63, 2048 MB gets rounded up to 2055 MB. And that is beyond the maximum size of „compatible“, 64 sectors per cluster, FAT-16 partitions. FDISK always rounds the user specified size up to the next cylinder boundary. It does not restrict the partition size but unconditionally sets the partition type to FAT-16 if you specify /PRIO. So depending on the behaviour of the format utility, it would either create a FAT-16 with a cluster size of 128 sectors or waste space at the end of the partition.
