As I understand vfat, this is a fundamental limitation of the filesystem,
as designed and implemented by Microsoft. Limitations such as this are
one of the reasons why Microsoft introduced vfat32, which, iirc, doesn't
have such low limits, and why they are trying to migrate users to ntfs,
which has much higher limits as well.
