Custom ContentImporter

Hey,
I need to make a custom contentImporter in order to load textures greater than 4096^2 and split them into smaller pieces.
So I toke a look at the default TextureImporter and tried this:

public override Texture2DContent Import(string filename, ContentImporterContext context)
{
var output = new Texture2DContent();
var systemBitmap = new Bitmap(filename);

        var height = systemBitmap.Height;
        var width = systemBitmap.Width;
        // Force the input's pixelformat to ARGB32, so we can have a common pixel format to deal with.
        if (systemBitmap.PixelFormat != System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
        {
            var bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(width, height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
            using (var graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
            {
                graphics.DrawImage(systemBitmap, 0, 0, width, height);
            }
            systemBitmap = bitmap;
        }
        PixelBitmapContent<Byte4> bcontent = new PixelBitmapContent<Byte4>(width, height);
        bcontent.SetPixelData(ImageToByte(systemBitmap));
        output.Faces.Add(bcontent);
        systemBitmap.Dispose();
        return output;
    }
    private static byte[] ImageToByte(Image img)
    {
        byte[] byteArray = new byte[0];
        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            img.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
            stream.Close();
            byteArray = stream.ToArray();
        }
        return byteArray;
    }

I get this error:

Error 1 Building content threw ArgumentException: The sourceData array has length 5341738, but bitmap pixel data size should be 17068000.

I’ve tried different types in PixelBitmapContent to make sure that wasn’t the problem.
I would appreciate any advice!

Thank you.

edit: this is just for reading the texture itself, the split into smaller pieces would go in the ContentProcessor
