I'm sure. I get the same results trying to create a 1720k.

%fdformat -f 1680 /dev/fd0
fdformat: unknown format 1680 KB for drive type 1.44M
%fdformat -f 1720 /dev/fd0
fdformat: unknown format 1720 KB for drive type 1.44M
%fdformat -s 21,,,,80 /dev/fd0
Format 1680K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y

%fdformat -s 21,,,,82 /dev/fd0
Format 1722K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y

My mistake. ( I haven't looked at this procedure in a loooong while). I have just successful in creating a 1722 by:


# fdcontrol -f 1722 /dev/fd0
# fdformat fd0
Format 1722K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y
Processing VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV done.

Not sure about a 1680:

# fdcontrol -v -f 1680 /dev/fd0
fdcontrol: unknown format 1680 KB for drive type 1.44M

Hope this helps a bit.
