To enable unbiased Jaccard estimates, the --noSplit option would use the same sketch size for each query, regardless of length.

This PR makes a tradeoff which results in potential bias for the Jaccard prediction but more accurate mappings for queries that are longer than the segment length (default 5kbp). The previous behavior is still obtainable with --unbiasedNoSplit.

Keeping closed for now, as a better solution is likely just to use a larger sketch size.
