Then I am sorry but your understanding was faulty. All versions of
VirtualRPC support 8Mb of VRAM using the supplied version of
RISC OS.
 
The early VRPC-SE didn't, but we released a free upgrade on our  website
some years ago to add this feature.

That is correct - because the only way to get more than 2Mb of screen
memory using a softloaded OS was with the ARM7500 model (which
is part of the SA VirtualRPCs)
