yeah, it might not require different programming, but it does require something, here, I'll link you an article.
Regarding Kojima's story that there wasn't enough space, the "real story on that" is that the game was originally planned for a single-layer Blu-ray disc, and they had everything allocated, but as they went on, they realized that a regular Blu-ray wouldn't be enough. They pondered going to two discs, but then Sony came to them with the idea of being the first to try a dual-layer, which required a lot of testing and preparation.

I guess I don't know what needed testing and preperation, but evidently it required more work. so I don't know, but this article also talks about the 2 disc situation, so yeah. I'm guessing you need special permission from Sony or something to use the dual layered discs. After all, Sony was the one that came to Kojima with the idea of putting MGS4 on dual layered blu ray.
