Instead of using a single 24064-byte transfer, you can try submitting a
first transfer of 12288 bytes followed by a second transfer of 11776
bytes.  This will mean the sixty-sixth 188-byte datapacket will be
split between the two transfers, but that shouldn't cause any
difficulty.

(The numbers 12288 and 11776 are the two multiples of 512 closest to
12032 = 24064 / 2.)
