I usually strap my rain gear down on top of my front rollers so that it is in a handy spot that I can access quickly. Sometimes I have also strapped on a water bottle or two or some damp clothing that I did not want to pack inside the pannier. I think that is roughly 1 to 2 liters on top of each frontloader using that strap that goes over the top, that could give up up to about 4 more liters per bike. See attached photo to see how I strapped stuff on top. Sorry, I do not have a photo that only shows the front.

I have not used backrollers on front but I am aware that others have done this too. I was going to suggest this but you beat me to it.
