Well, that would defeat the "use _the_ largest continuous free space" phrasing of the current option. Maybe it would make sense (post-etch) to add an option "select free space to use". What I was thinking of is displaying the selected disk and size of free space selected in either a separate dialog or in the recipe selection dialog.
