That's right. It may be blocks, sectors, KiB, or baker's dozens. There may be ways to influence the unit (switches, environment variables) but not portably, and there is no way of telling what effects such efforts take, if any.

The alternative routes all sound equally infeasible. Sorry about wasting your time; closing.
