It is telling you that the size of the flash area already reserved for
"application" it smaller than the size downloaded.

This is pritty obvious when you read the code:

   // 'length' is size of FLASH image, 'img_size' is actual data size
    // Round up length to FLASH block size
#ifndef CYGPKG_HAL_MIPS // FIXME: compiler is b0rken
    length = ((length + flash_block_size - 1) / flash_block_size) * flash_block_size;
    if (length < img_size) {
        diag_printf("Invalid FLASH image size/length combination\n");
        return;
    }
#endif
