RMAN generating small backup pieces

Hi,I am trying to generate 5 Gb backup pieces while running RMAN backup but it doesn't seem to work and generating backup pieces of 200mb/300mb or 1 Gb max.
I have MAXPIECESIZE clause in my command but it seems to be ignoring it. I am on Standard 11.2.0.3.4.

Here is the command I am using

run
{
allocate channel t1 type disk format '/rman/NHS2/stage/df_%t_%s_%p.dbf' MAXPIECESIZE 5000M ;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 (database);
release channel t1;
}

and here is sample of backup pieces it is generating

-bash-3.2$ ls -ltr
total 88695816
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 1062092800 Mar 11 02:11 df_809748534_7279_1.dbf

Howdy, Stranger!
