Can we change the xz block size in our cloud images?

It looks like the raw format xz-compressed cloud images that we ship use a very large block size, possibly 192M. This is not ideal and it would be better to use a smaller block size such as 16M so that they can be consumed without having to be uncompressed by nbdkit, or even be used remotely
