Shall we really refer to a legacy geometry? It's just that there was a
default value until know, you need another default for bigger devices,
but the ancient geometry is still completely valid (at least for
existing devices).

Can you change the naming? You can however mention in a comment
that this way of deriving the geometry is deprecated for larger devices
(and mention the split).

Otherwise LGTM.
