You can change the lengths of most parts of the symbol and packet. If
you run the benchmark_tx.py script with '-h', you'll see the list of
options. The '-s' allows you to specify the length of the packet
(default = 400 bytes), the number of subcarriers (--fft-length), the
number of used subcarriers (--occupied-tones) and the length of the
cyclic prefix (--cp-length).

You should be able to make the OFDM code work on more than one symbol
at a time, which should help a bit in the performance. The
book-keeping starts to get nasty, so to make it easier on us when we
put this together, we decided to get it right by only using one symbol
at a time.
