This can be handled with 22DISK, at least version 1.30 or better; use
the SOFS parameter instead of OFS.  From the manual:

       SOFS  indicates the number of sectors that are  used  for  storing
            the  CP/M  system  and  BIOS at the beginning of a diskette.
            SOFS is used when the number of sectors used by the CP/M  is
            not  an  integral  number of tracks,  such as for the Coleco
            Adam.
