My guess is in ImgHeader:

// This sectors, head, cylinders stuff appears to be used by mapsource
// and they have to be larger than the actual size of the map.  It
// doesn't appear to have any effect on a garmin device or other software.
int sectors = 0x20;   // 0x20 appears to be a max
header.putShort(OFF_SECTORS, (short) sectors);
int heads = 0x20;     // 0x20 appears to be max
header.putShort(OFF_HEADS, (short) heads);
int cylinders = 0x100;   // gives 128M will try more later

Try boosting cylinders to 0x200, or try to find if there is a maximum
useful value like it appears that there is for the others.
