I don't think it is possible. I generally use the fabric amounts as a guideline only, knowing that EQ doesn't do the most efficient layout - but it's an upper amount, so at least I won't run out of fabric if I buy what EQ says.

It is definitely possible in EQ6. Work on the block, then go into "block -> Drawing Board Setup" and set the block size. You can also adjust the snap grid here. I find it a bit annoying - you have to set the number of snap points, rather than saying, for example, snap every 1/4". But it does work, you just have to adjust it every time you change the block size.
