Those INIs are suggested sets of config files, depending on what you want the machine to do.
I've never worked with Heidi-SQL, but i'd guess it was querying the server (these settings become variables you can query and sometimes change, live). I'd be more inclined to set it to 1m, based on this: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_allowed_packet Obviously if you're using BLOBs or large memos, go bigger.
