The size of compressed extents was limited to 128K, which
leads to fragmentation of the extents (although the extents
themselves may still be located contiguously). This limit is
put in place to ease the RAM required when spreading compression
across several CPUs, and to make sure the amount of IO required
to do a random read is reasonably small.
Increase this limit to 512K.
