It would be best to simply add MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_SIZE onto the CREATE TABLE statement (or ALTER). This will force the 'pointer' to be big enough for that table. Be conservative -- have the product of those two values be more than the 20G you mention.
This is the variable that controls the default:
myisam_data_pointer_size
but it did not exist in earlier versions.
4 (the old default) leads to a 4GB limit; 6 leads to 256TB limit. 5 would suffice for your case.
