  It's written to an unused sector on the disk, and I think it's pretty
much limited to the 512 byte sector. The next step would be changing the
code to write a second 512 byte sector somewhere.

  Besides, there is free space in the config block between 0x2c and 0xad
(the space has been filled from top down).

  No, you need to trigger writing the block using settings_save().
