I believe that number is about right.
You might be able to get more in place if you can utilize the XML format of EAs (and I'm not talking about the '-x' flag on iwextattr).

If I recall correctly, the XML format for EAs was developed to support things like VisualAnnotate - as a means of encoding large amounts of information within EAs in a manner that didn't run into the limitation you've already identified.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the ability to use XML format of EAs was ever made publicly available (i.e. via an API) - so you might have to check with Support on that.

The other alternative is to try to find a different way to store or break-up your existing EA values.

Out of curiosity - without going into proprietary details unfit for a public forum - what are you trying to store as an EA that is so large?

Duh - what kind of attribute do you have which needs more than 4096 characters?

When I said "without going into proprietary detail" I didn't mean providing an absolute lack of detail
