You are right, I think that the background idea of supplying PKA functions working with such small array sizes is to force the developer to think in another directions and avoid using too much assimetric encryption due performance issues that may arise.
So the way to go is really emulate the SSL model: encrypt a simetric key under an assimetric one and use the simetric one to decipher the bulk of data.
