This is only half correct.  The granularity is indeed 16 bytes, but
the overhead for each allocated block is 4 bytes, not 16 bytes.
Here's a little table that may help:

Requested	Actual no. of
block size	bytes allocated
----------	---------------
 1-12		16
13-28		32
29-44		48
 etc.		etc.

You can verify this by printing the pointers returned by farmalloc();
you'll find that they are all of the form xxxx:0004.
