I've just tested using the following approach in my own Makefile and
this seems to work.

define Image/Build/mips74k/devices-with-64k-blocks
    :
    $(call
Image/Build/Chk,$(1)-noloader-nodictionary,wnr3500l_v1_north_america,U12H136T99_NETGEAR,2,$(patsubst
jffs2-%,jffs2,$(1)))
    $(call
Image/Build/Chk,$(1)-noloader-nodictionary,wnr3500l_v1_other_regions,U12H136T99_NETGEAR,1,$(patsubst
jffs2-%,jffs2,$(1)))
    :
endef

Should I commit a new patch, including a change for the WNDR4500?
