Explain exceptions where l needs to be larger than 2^8 #7

For instance TCP CoAP blockwise BERT.

In general if a message size larger than 4096 is desired (16 byte block size * 2^8 blocks per message), a higher l must be chosen. We can cover how appropriate values for v and q can be calculated when a larger l is chosen.

Explain more on how different l value affect the CA and IA (and how q & v can be changed to compensate).
