Just to be sure: using [block~ 128 2] means that the dsp routine of the 
external is called each 64 samples, and a vector of 128 samples is 
passed to the dsp routine? And plus, the first half of the vector si the 
same as the second half of the previous buffer?

Now... another question is coming up. Your output is 64 or 128 samples? 
If 128, Pd will use the overlap-add policy (second half of the previous 
ouput buffer + first half of the actual)? If so, the programmer of the 
external needs to know how to deal with that! For example, if I have no 
need of overlap-add, I've to set second half of my output buffer to 
zero! It's not a good practice :) so I think that I've missed something 
hehehe :)
