I'll give a tentative yes, though a few tweaks might be needed and
verification is not trivial.

* YAFFS2 can handle virtual pages >= 1024.
* Block size == 64 what? I assume pages. No problem.
* Volume size of 64GB. Should be OK with very large page sizes.
* The major RAM user is the tnode tree which is approx 2 or 3 bytes (depending
on size) per "chunk" == virtual page. For 4k pages you'll be a bit over
budget. With larger pages (8/16kB) you should achieve the RAM target.

Verification would take some effort and there might be some tweaks needed, but
the basic architecture can handle this.
