The 'help' keywird should be idnented by 1 TAB; the help text it self should be indented by 1 tab and 2 spaces.
Furthermore, a "block" is not an absolute and perfectly-defined unit of size. Under some conditions, a block may be 512 bytes, while under other conditions it might be 4096 bytes; whatever, depending on the context, and users are not really used to calculate in terms of blocks.
In this case, a block is 1024 bytes.
Also, we do not usually reference the default value, unless it is very important.
Also, 'MB' refers to power-of-ten, while here we are mostly speaking 'MiB', which is about powers-of-two:

What about:
Specify the requested size for the filesystem, as a number of 1024-byte blocks. The default, 61440, is worth a 60MiB filesystem (a little over 61MB).
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
