You *can* use buffer (or dd, or even tar|tar IIRC) to reblock,
however that might frag up afio's detection of end-of-medium.
And since you are gonna use a script anyway, you can lock it down
in a script. You could also tell ftape to change the buffer size.

Undocumented options are usually undocumented for a reason, like
they are unreliable or liable to change. Just know what you do.
