Those are hard-coded limits in the web-vault, and not something we can change on-the-fly, per server.
What we can do is change the error message to indicate what the limit is so that it will be more clear.

I have checked the code a bit better, and the size limit you can configure isn't per attachment, but as a total amount of storage. The wording is a bit off, so i think we should change that.
