The limitation you are encountering is imposed by the way the Amiga
configures memory boards. Given two 2Mbyte boards, there is a MemChunk
at 200000 Hex, and one at 400000 Hex. Because the MemChunk splits your
address space, you can never allocate a contiguous chunk larger than
the size of your largest memory board.

Perry Kivolowitz of ASDG has written a program to eliminate this
limitation, you can also eliminate it by getting one of his 8 Mbyte
memory boards (one board!). Send mail to well!perry for more info
about the program or his memory boards.
