I am not sure this is possible, at least the specification on freedesktop.org 
doesn't mention any related configuration capability.

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/trash-spec/

It does, however, list which requirements a top level trash directory has to 
fulfill to be considered a worth target directory, not sure though if that 
helps.

Of course KDE's implementation could allow for certiain configurability within 
the confines of the spec, but someone would have to check the code of kio_trash 
for that.

Right, the main reason being, as far as I understand, that "move" on the same 
file system is usually instantanious while "move" across file systems is 
bascially a lengthy copy operation followed by a delete of the original.

Cheers,
