It's possible to configure the MTU for each route on Linux. (Obviously 
you can't use the extremely simple wg-quick script for this.)

The WireGuard app on Android also can't use a VPN address as the source 
of WireGuard packets. Only non-VPN addresses are supported.

Which means currently the WireGuard app on Android can't be used for 
nested tunnels.
