That is a hardware determined feature, not a software feature. You can't change it to 16MiB.
If you understood the point of huge pages, you probably wouldn't want to change them to 16MiB.
Your hardware might support a huge page size of 1GiB in addition to the standard size of 2MiB. I have no clue what it would take to get Linux to support 1GiB huge pages (on CPUs that support it). I think memory still needs to get less expensive before many people would want 1GiB huge pages.
