As small as possible. The free space required by JFFS2 is measured in 
blocks. It could probably be reduced to 2 or 3 blocks from the current 5/6 
but will always be a straight multiple of blocksize, I think.

By treating them as two pairs, you'll halve the write performance and also
halve the amount of wasted space. It's a tradeoff which you have to decide
on.
