'16 bit' does not mean that a sprite has to fit into a 16*16 pixel box. It is more about how much colors per 8*8 pixel block and what kind of colors can be used.
When it comes to sprite size, the rule is usually that a sprite has to fit inside a box that is made out of 8*8 pixel blocks (like, 16*16, 16*8, 32*32, 24*64...) because video game consoles such as the SNES of GameBoy worked that way.
