That's what i've done this evening.
I splitted the main file into one new subfile (32087s02.dat witch re-use the
2865s04.dat file)and the mainfile (32087_mainfile.dat). I couldn't add the
small center track pieces too the 32087s02.dat file due to a little
difference on the bottom side of the center track (one direction versus the
other direction).

The file lenghts are now:
Name Length used times
32087_mainfile.dat : 57Kbyte 1x
32087s01.dat : 12Kbyte 1x
32087s02.dat : 28Kbyte 4x
2865s04.dat : 17Kbyte 4x
2865s06.dat : 1Kbyte 4x
2865s06 is re-used in the 32087s01 subfile,
2865s04 is re-used in the 32087s02 subfile.
The original main file was 166Kbytes long, with the split into a main file
and a new subfile i reduced it to 57K + 28K = 85Kbytes.
I hope that this approach is more acceptable than the 'inline' approach.
Before uploading to LUGNET.CAD.DAT & the Parts tracker ,I would like to know
witch approach is preferrable for upload (subparts or inline).
Personally, i vote for Subparts.
