   You don't -- there's no explicit control over it. The FS will
decide based on the overall size of the filesystem in question.

   Typically, data groups are made of 1 GiB chunks, and metadata
groups are made of 256 MiB chunks (where the RAID level will determine
the number of chunks in a group and the amount of usable space of the
group).

   Hugo.
