Wrap-around MCU memory map definition with negative addresses

Question

I figured it'd be more appropriate to ask this question here:

https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/2530#issuecomment-785007613

Given this linear address space a particular MCU:

It's not easily definable as-is on the memory manager, see:

memory = currentProgram.getMemory()
fb = memory.getAllFileBytes()   
blk = memory.getBlock(toAddr(0x0))
memory.removeBlock(blk, monitor)

memory.createUninitializedBlock("internal_ram",toAddr(0x3ff8000),0x2fff,False)
memory.createUninitializedBlock("peripherals", toAddr(0x3ffefff),0xfff, False)
memory.createInitializedBlock("rom", toAddr(0x0), fb[0], 0, 0x1000000, False)
disassemble(toAddr(0x0))

Yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):

What would be the correct sequence of arguments/flags/(instruction ordering?) to have a correct representation of a loaded V850 16MB firmware (size 0x1000000) on Ghidra? What am I doing wrong?

Here's the MCU PDF address space section for reference

Note to self, when running memory.removeBlock(blk, monitor) make sure that the memory map is not empty from previous wipes/redefinitions (iterations of the script).

In other words, opening a file creates a default memory map, but the script wasn't contemplating the case where the address map was empty to begin with.
