I'd never thought about extending that idea to the tubes.
It took me way too long to come up with that solution. For a while it seemed that I was either stuck with only a single spare tube in my small bag, or using my overly large bag to carry 2 tubes and having everything rattling around in there because of the abundance of space. Until one day I happened to notice one of the guys at the LBS unrolling a latex tube and I noticed how thin and squishy it was. It had occurred to me that I could just buy an in between-sized bag, but that is kind of a silly problem to have to throw extra money at.
