Chunk size is query-dependent: a simple multi-scale approach to RAG retrieval

optimal chunk size is strongly query-dependent - very true.

Faced similar issues. Ended up adding a agentic tool call layer on the top to retrieve the nearby chunks to handle a case where a relevant answer was only partially available in a chunk (like a 7 step instruction in which only 4 were available in a chunk). It worked ok.
