BQ76940: cell balancing with more than 5 mA?

Team,

Is there a way to use a higher balancing current than 5 mA on the BQ76940, only with the internal FETs? Can more than 5 mA be used, if only balancing a single cell? For higher currents a lot of external circuitry is needed. My customer would like to reduce the size of his system.  

For the BQ76940 the limit are 50 mA. I'm trying to understand why it's so much higher compared to BQ76940. Any only the recommended operating conditions section of the datasheet distinguish between the devices. Section 10.3.1.3.3 only talks about 50 mA:

10.3.1.3.3 Cell Balancing
Both internal and external passive cell balancing options are fully supported by the bq76920, while external cell
balancing is recommended for bq76930 and bq76940. It is left to the host controller to determine the exact
balancing algorithm to be used in any given system. Each bq769x0 device provides the cell voltages and
balancing drivers to enable this. If using the internal cell balance drivers, up to 50 mA may be balanced per cell.
If using external cell balancing, much higher balancing currents may be employed.

Thanks,
