 This is a limit, not a target. It's fine to have a smaller blockfile than the limit. A larger blockfile will result in longer restart times for the dnsmasq service. That's important because DHCP/DNS/TFTP won't function until dnsmasq finishes restarting. This is a limit, not a target. It's fine to have a smaller blockfile than the limit.
