Two things: Firstly, you write "can be cached" rather than "must be
cached".
I think Sebastian is using "can" to mean "it is possible", not "may".
That is,
The advantage of smaller
chunks is that *it is possible* to cache the plaintext until the chunk's auth
tag
is validated *whereas it is not necessarily possible to cache the
plaintext with larger chunks*.
