Yes, or you can mount a second 4mb ramdisk:
--------------------------------------
mke2fs -i8192 -m0 /dev/ram1 4096
mount -t ext2 /dev/ram1 /usr/local/bin
--------------------------------------
You don't have to mount it at /usr/local/bin
(that is just an example).

Yes, the BL3 kernel has a maximum ramdisk of 4mb.
It can handle up to 16 ramdisks.

Yes.  It can be changed when you compile the kernel.

Yes, I once compiled a kernel for a 16mb ramdisk
and used fs.img (after trimming and gzipping) as 
baslinux.gz.
