That's true. Sorry my reply was quite unspecific about that.
But as far as I understand gnutls_dh_params_generate2() generates the pair of 
prime and generator, while gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits() sets a minimum DH size 
for a conversation. I did not test it, but this might enable you to allow 
different DH sizes in different conversations.

I am handing over to the GnuTLS experts! ;)
