Description
As stated in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5054#appendix-A the 1024-bit and 1536-bit groups MUST be supported.
Currently only 2048-bit group is available and cannot be changed. Please provide a way to either set N length or change the default value.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the RFC 5054 Appendix A requirements and locate the implementation of the fixed 2048-bit largeSafePrime value. Determine how the library can expose a configurable N length or replacement default, while preserving support for the required 1024-bit and 1536-bit groups. Done means callers can select those groups or change the default without breaking existing behavior.
