so that if you're using 8GB of GC and need to allocate 1 Byte more, instead of becoming 16GB which may be overly costly, it'll become more like 4GB + 1 large value

Yeah but then you need to watch out that the logic cannot go into bad cycles 8GB + X, 8GB, 8BG + X, and so on. It's usually not worth it.
