The problem is not (only) grub_disk_read_small(), but this part in
grub_disk_read:

      if (agglomerate)
        {
          grub_disk_addr_t i;

          err = (disk->dev->read) (disk, transform_sector (disk, sector),
                                   agglomerate << (GRUB_DISK_CACHE_BITS
                                                   + GRUB_DISK_SECTOR_BITS
                                                   - disk->log_sector_size),
                                   buf);

which reads directly into user supplied buffer. May be we can allocate
contiguous cache block here but put pointers to multiple chunks inside
it. Possible implementation is to have second layer of reference counted
memory blocks with cache entries containing pointer + offset into them.
