That's the optimal block size, not the maximum.

Updated to:

It would be useful is the current limit would be raised to a higher value, and
tentative maximum values could be 27998, the non-spanned maximum blocksize for
3390 devices, or 32767, the maximum signed value for a halfword, but even a
value of 1024 or 4096 would be more helpful.
