You cannot.

ALSA assumes that there is a ring buffer that has the configured buffer
size, and that when N frames are reported as available, any number of
frames between 1 and N can be read/written.

Handling less bytes than requested would imply that an error occured.

You could add your own buffer to keep any remaining frames of the
128-frame chunk until the next transfer call.
