Not mount options, but how the filesystem is formatted. So substitute
"mount" with "mke2fs", and that would be correct.

s/mount/mke2fs/
And the on-disk inode size is 256, 512, or some greater power of two,
up to the filesystem blocksize.

Well, there's no space to store the fields beyond the first 128, so
any features that require the extra inode fields can't be used.
