In RKM Libraries and Devices it states that playfields can have a maximum
size of 1024x1024 pixels.  Is this a limitation of the playfield DMA hardware?

Specifically, I want to create a 4 bitplane lo-res screen with the bitplanes
interleaved in memory, which effectively requires a 320 X 4 = 1280 pixel wide
display as far as the playfield hardware is concerned.  Can I do it?
