Root directories in all versions of FAT are limited, IIRC to 108 entries or
less

If you then start using LFN's, the number of entries reduces rapidly, since
depending on the length, each file will use 2 or even three entries.

108 Noel???
Your data does not indicate that to me as it corresponds with the KB
article I quoted.
MS-DOS: Directory and Subdirectory Limitations

Why "Root directories in all versions of FAT" when the above is for
FAT12 and FAT16 allows 512 entries and FAT32 allows around 65,535
(give or take one)?

Am I missing something? (Probably, as it is Saturday night here and I
tend to miss a few things then)

or make the file really small: zip... or 7-zip, but only if you will have ability to later unzip.
