Double cluster size = half the amount of clusters = half the amount of files that can be stored?

But the values are "sectors per FAT" (they are not dependent on how many sectors are in a cluster).
Nonetheless the vertical "steep-down" happens at each cluster size change, even on FAT32.
And what about the smaller "demented spring" in FAT 16 at 8 Mb (probably a FAT12->16 shift
) with 512 bytes cluster?
Or, what about the ones between 2 and 3 and 4 and 5? Still inside FAT12 realm.
I am attaching the spreadsheet that I used to build the graphics.
And also the as usual half-@§§ed batches I used.
They need IMDISK, mksparse and hexdump.
DO NOT even THINK of running them if you don't know where your towel is.
