Write a script that does "something" that results in 16MB of WAL logging and
run it whenever you want a rotation to occur. Inserting a few hundred
thousand rows into an otherwise empty table should work. If it's not
indexed it won't impact your server much, especially if your normal
transaction volume is that low.
