That BASIC.DSK image file has a size of 486,400 bytes. I don't know
where that size would come from.
A physical RX-02 floppy should have a sector size of 256 bytes, with
26 sectors per track, and 77 tracks, which would be a total of 512,512
bytes, or 505,856 bytes if the first physical track is ignored.
Indeed, the other RX-02 floppy images available here do have a size of
505,856 bytes:

Hmm, maybe that BASIC.DSK image file was created by something that
only copied the initial allocated logical sectors and ignored unused
logical sectors at the end of the floppy, and maybe PUTR doesn't
handle disk image files that are not the expected full size?
Example of padding the 486,400 byte BASIC.DSK image file to a size of
512,512 bytes on a Windows system:
FSUTIL FILE CREATENEW BLANK 26112
COPY /B BASIC.DSK+BLANK TEST.DSK
C:\PUTR>DIR TEST.DSK
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 14CE-1A29
