I stumbled into the increment issue by accident, not by training. All I can say is that I tend to believe Omegamon. Explaining what Omegamon reports is yet another discipline. ;-)
I suggest comparing the HMC (actually SE, I believe) partition storage map with the Image profile storage values. We discovered once that an LPAR did indeed have the user-specified storage available, but the hardware was allocating a larger amount based on increment size. The excess was useless/unusable for any other LPAR on the CEC. I don't know the potential effect on reconfigurable storage because that LPAR did not have any defined. An SR to IBM might be in order. . .

I wonder as you have stated, I may be defining my storage in the incorrect storage increments for this hardware.

Depending on z/OS level, hardware model, and amount of physical memory installed, the minimum storage increment can vary. You can specify any amount you choose, but it may get rounded off to the nearest increment boundary. There is not necessarily any message to that effect, but results can be unexpected. Check LPAR memory assignment on the HMC as well as D M=STOR. . .
