not enough blocks for JFFS?

Hi! Everybody:
The system I'm working on use a 4MB NOR flash.
The block size of the 4MB flash is 64KB.
It also has eight smaller(8KB) blocks at bottom.
Since, on this system, I don't have much data to write(less than 10KB),
a CRAMFS(readonly)+JFFS(writable) combination should be pretty good for me.
Here comes the problem. The bootloader has occupied the first three 8KB
blocks. I have only five 8K blocks available for JFFS. It always fails
when I overwrite an existed file on the JFFS partition.
I've checked the mailing list archive. It seems JFFS/JFFS2 needs at
least five blocks to work and the number '5' is adjustable. Could
somebody tell me where I can modify in JFFS source to have it run on
fewer blocks?
Thanks.
