My understanding is that MS_MAXIMAGESIZE_DEFAULT = 2048 means that you 
can have up to 2048 pixels in both dimensions (i.e. max of 2048x2048). 
So if you want to allow 1613x2200 images you should set it to 2200.

Since version 4.0 (not sure about 3.6), you should be able to set 
MAXSIZE 2200 at the top-level in your mapfile to override the default.
