I don't believe we have the ability to express sizes of requests this
complex, even after the thing I added in this patch.  I also think this
is a fairly difficult change to make - at least in a clean and generic
way.

We have the ability to do 50/50 splits by giving the requests the same
minimum size.  And we have the ability to cap requests out at some
maximum size.  And with my patch we can give requests a minimum size
that must exist for the request to even be used.  But, I don't think we
can combine those together to cover the 50 <= size <= 100 case.

Anyway, do you think that really matters?  How many users are going to
fall into the 51 GB or 64 GB cases here?  See my other mail where I said
that we don't even spend this much effort making sure / is a minimum
useful size.
