Presumably the smaller segsize is better because we don't

Yes, I try to test this setting './configure --with-segsize=0.03125' tonight.
I will send you this test result tomorrow.
I did testing on this a few years ago, I tried with 2MB segments over
16MB thinking similarly to you. It failed miserably, performance
completely tanked.
