That is normal. This is a hardware characteristic so this is read only.

Yes, this is the soft limit that can be used to limit trim command size.

Which would tend to indicate that the drive only likes single sector trims...

I do not think so. The ext4 is going to issue whatever trim request for
free blocks it has and the block layer will split these request into at
most discard_max_bytes trim commands. You can check this behavior using
blktrace.

If you have an empty partition, you could experiment using blkdiscard
command to remove the fs.
