I can do that later...

No, I really mean different MMUs on the *STF*. It's long been known that
IMP MMUs in STF for example don't support 2,5 MiB configurations:
<http://www.verycomputer.com/10_212253af0208b980_1.htm>. The reason is
that these MMUs also use bank0 settings for both banks, i.e. they don't
allow the banks to differ.

Please find my photos here:
<https://ocean.czietz.de/index.php/apps/gallery/s/nr6Y6FpHrrhWlfQ>. On
the STF with 4 MiB RAM and IMP MMU -- as expected -- nothing happens
when I press F5 or F4, as the MMU ignores these settings. There are
however three pictures of my 4MiB STF with "non-IMP" MMU, that are
hopefully helpful.

You should know that the memory address lines (MAD9/MAD8) that are not
actively used with a given bank size still do toggle, at least on the
IMP MMU. So, for example if you really have 2048 kiB in a bank but set
the MMU to 512 kiB, MAD9 won't stay constantly high or low. In fact, if
I remember correctly, it follows MAD8 then. This obviously doesn't make
a difference when there really only are 512 kiB in a bank, since MAD9
isn't even connected then.
