Bars with that extra rise didn’t affect the folded size, but a riser stem would likely add to the width of the folded bike a little, if that matters to you, as it will stick out further as well as up. If you added much more rise I think you’d have to swap out the brake/gear cables for longer. If I remember when I fitted mine I thought that was around about the limit for the cables.
