That size is part of the disk layout.

Looking at <dev/softraidvar.h>, the layout of a softraid partition
is this:

     16 sectors, unused  (potential disklabel, boot block)
  +  64 sectors softraid metadata
  + 320 sectors boot loader space
  + 128 sectors boot block space
    followed by the actual data

The boot block space is of dubious usefulness and unused as far as
I can tell, so I guess it could be reused to modestly extend the
boot loader space if there ever were a pressing reason.
