If retrying with the remaining partial amount would be an error, than I
don't think it should.  Returning a short write count usually indicates you
can write more, just in smaller chunks.  When we know up front that you are
trying something that can't be done, it seems appropriate to me for it to
return an error for the request as a whole.
