MegaWizard Memory Compiler: why is the 9th bit not for free?

I'm trying to tailor a larger memory to my needs. This is for a Cyclone II, which has only M4K memory blocks. It shall be a simple dual port, one port writes, another reads, with different clocks. ...

I see, didn't think of the 2K*2 configuration. Way easier to bundle such slices to a wider memory, because no address decoding is necessary.

In that case, the configuration is somewhat misleading, it offers me steps of 8 and 9 bits where it could even be steps of 2.
