grub-setup limits core size to 2 sectors less than the offset of the first 
partition. One sector for the MBR and one sector at the end I don't know 
why.

"your embedding area is unusually small" may be displayed instead of
the usual "your core.img is unusually large" if the first partition starts 
at offset < 64 sectors (rather than 63).
