Grammar was awkward.  If we keep that wording, the final period should be
after the () comment, not before.  But what about a completely different
wording (wrapped as appropriate):

Block size is the first available size from the --block-size option, the
%s_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE environment variables, and
defaults to 1024 bytes (or 512 bytes if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).
