This is not to worry you. Linux has to make big files non-continuous
when they exceed the group size (see dumpe2fs output for the group size
(blocks-per-group*blocksize)). If you have only 800+ files on your
partition, this means that you have ca. 500 files which are more than
ca. 128K (on 4k blocksize fss).

PS: You could have increased the amount of data storable on that
filesystem if you had created it with a minimum inode density (mke2fs'-i
parameter)
