hmmm... i was always confused about bMaxPacketSize. i was thinking that 
it limits the size of one usb transaction, and it could take several usb 
transactions to transfer one data packet.

for example i have a bluetooth usb dongle that has

         Standard Endpoint Descriptor:
           bLength          7
           bDescriptorType  05
           bEndpointAddress 81 (in)
           bmAttributes     03 (Interruput)
           wMaxPacketSize   16
           bInterval        1

and i certanly can receive data packets from this endpoint that are more 
(and less) then 16 bytes in size. so, i would guess (and i might be 
wrong) that it is ok to send/receive data packets that are not equal to 
bMaxPacketSize in size.
