Why not (8 * MiB)?  Where does this get stringified that you have to introduce a new macro? Can we instead fix the stringification location to call a convenience helper that converts arbitrary values into convenient strings at runtime, rather than having to worry about a separate macro just for stringification purposes?

- Why not (8 * MiB)?
Because we have the lookup table from the previous patch.
- Why do we need this table?
Because some values (not this one specifically, but for example DEFAULT_CLUSTER_SIZE) get stringified at compile time (not during runtime), and for these values the only two options are to use such a table for convenient writing, or to write the number of bytes explicitly in the definition. Again, while the necessity for such a table comes from stringification, it has an added value of short and clear size definitions.

Again, why not (32 * MiB)?

Same as above.

Because:

(and similar in some other files).
