NAND flash and JFFS(2)

I am using 64 Mbyte chip and only 3 partial page writes is allowed. I
guess that Samsung models 16 MB to 64 MB allow 5 partial page writes and
Toshiba 64 M chip - the one I am using - allows 3.

Any possibility to increase the node size in JFFS to make it work also
with my chip?
