Implements a "Dual Scale" mechanism for the chunk size code in the file header. This uses the most significant bit to select between a 4 KB or 64 KB multiplier, significantly expanding the range of supported block sizes up to approximately 8 MB. Explicitly defines a base value of zero (bits 0-6) to map to the minimum block size of 4 KB, improving control over small blocks. This enhancement improves flexibility for various use cases and data scales. Updates documentation to reflect the new encoding scheme and its interpretation.

Refines the documentation for the chunk size code, making it more concise and easier to understand. Replaces verbose calculation examples with direct summaries of the effective block size ranges for both fine and large scales in the whitepaper. Also standardizes variable notation in the format documentation.
