The difference between cache line size and cache size is like paper. You can make it wider (bigger cache line size), taller (bigger cache size), or both.
The problem is like printing. If you put in an A4 or letter (ANSI A) sized sheet and tell your printer it's A3 or tabloid (ANSI B), you're gonna have problems.
