Let me try...

IPatch interface was just introduced.  Some of core classes still access
Patch.sysex byte array directly.  When the transition will be done, the
method call of a patch class implementing IPatch will be the only way to
access to patch data.  The class can hold its data in any form (for
example unnibbled data as you did).  When a method of IPatch interface
(for example byte[] getByteData()), your patch class can convert the
data from its internal form to an external form (ex. byte[] or
MidiMessage[]) requested by a core class.
