We were indeed mistakenly setting a maximum size of 5G for raw devices for which we should not assume the size. This should now be fixed. Of course there is no telling of what happens if the device is smaller than what you try to fit into it, but I do not see any obvious way to determine reliably the size of the raw device passed considering the various type that can be used. Ideas welcome...

While at it I also realized that it was not possible to use --raw multiple times as is was possible to do with the bash implementation. It is quite useful when used together with --part when you specify multiple disk. I fixed that as well.
