Yes, everything can be resolved by good database design :-)
But, this is not possible or good to implement. I don't like
to make additional 'blob table' if I know that all my blobs
have size ~8k and none of these will fit at 4K page, I mean
data page.

And I don't like this solution because Oracle was suggesting the
same when they couldn't have more one blob column per table.
