I wouldn't be too concerned about file sizes.  

The extra space that is added by "uncopping" the image is all empty "black" 
space.  and, inside the file, this empty space is represented as a string of 
zeros (000000000000000000).  This compresses extraordinarily well using LZW 
compression.  So, if you uncrop one of these files and it uses LZW compression, 
the size increase due to adding back all the empty space will be very small.
