I guess the real question is: does it increase the required disk

does it only fill up bits that would otherwise be padding bits?
Josef tells me that 32 bytes are reserved _anyway_, with 4 used for crc32c
or 8 used for xxhash. So even using the 256-bit hashes wouldn't change the
size on disk; they'd just use the already-allocated space.
