I meant they are close and you should use something an order of
magnitude less then 4K.

No equation. I'd suggest 256 for you. There is a configuration option
for this.

Consider a situation when you have static data, which never changes, and
it sits a a subset of eraseblock N, while the rest of the flash is
intensively used. In this case UBI moves data from N to more worn-out
eraseblocks, and start using N. And the threshold says which should be
the difference between erase-counter of eraseblocks N and the other
ones, roughly speaking.
