Hmm, didn't work for me.
>From man cdrecord:

       -ignsize
              Ignore  the  known size of the medium. This options
              should be used with extreme care,  it  exists  only
              for  debugging purposes don't use it for other rea­
              sons.  It is not needed to write  disks  with  more
              than the nominal capacity.
