I think the overhead of having one additional matrix object is negligible, especially for large k. (I assumed you are talking about the xml representation of the bundle, to pass it around in MPI. You can look at the xml yourself if you store the bundle to a file, possibly after unzipping. There is one more xml node for the extra matrix, but this is just a fixed amount of text, shouldn't really matter.)
