Yes. I experienced this myself.

You can set it to 512, but FE will use maximum of 64k. Check out help topic on 
message buffer size.

=== Starting Windows Clipboard ===
It's  recommended  to  use a buffer as large as possible
(DOS: max. 64kB, OS/2: max. 512kB), and only to make  it
smaller if your computer is short on memory.
=== End of Windows Clipboard ===

FeSetup program is universal for all versions and doesn't check on which OS it 
is running. That's why you can set 512k for DOS version.
