Come on, where's the problem with simply changing a number in the
source code and recompiling?

Do you want to solve this problem or not?

If a higher value helps for 2MB cards, I'll make it use that value
automatically. This buffer is just a workaround, anyway, and I don't
want to manifest it with yet another setup option.
