Using the standard host code, there's no such thing as sending 60
bytes from the host. We always send 512 byte packets across the USB.

Not sure what you are doing...

Hi
  
  I changed the host code by removing the multiplier for the "max bytes"  argument. I assumed that this would let me send the exact number of  bytes that the user entered. For my final application, I'm only looking  to store a very small number of samples on the FPGA.
  
  If this was the wrong modification to the host code, then how exactly  would one go about sending a small number of samples (say 400 I and Q  samples) without breaking the code?
