Wy would you need this information? 

If you like to get as large fragments as possible just set the fragment
size to very big. The driver will then select the largest one it could
support.

However changing the fragment size bigger than the default doesn't give
any benefit. You can always write/read multiple fragments at time to get
the same effect.

This is the current and future behaviour.
