Yes, you can! The size asked for by libcurl in the read callback is the
maximum amount of data you can return, you can safely opt to return less.

In fact, that's how the command line tool implements its transfer-speed
limiter (it thus also involves a sleep before it returns control to the
library).

Or is there something I'm missing?
