Handle too high batch steps more graciously

Instead of erroring, when too many batchsteps is set such that the final batch
size would exceed dataset length, simply don't truncate the batch steps instead
of throwing an error.
This change enables experimenting with more aggressive batch steps, and also
comes in handy when working with long-read data.
