why do you need so much space to store a single bit per char?
also if the chars take much space, why not simply reuse them from
the previous frame and just update some?

from this i assume you use the 4color per block 160x200 mode, cant this
allow any 4 out of 5 colors, i mean not just the 4 darkest/4 lightest?
also i think your code should not downscale 320->160 but rather require
160x200 as input.
