It adds a lot of complexity to the protocol to do this.
Since configuration is a relatively rare activity, it doesn't really
save much bandwidth anyway.  We aren't very worried
about congestion due to network configuration PDUs.

(In your example, you saved about 1% -- that's all.
Once you add some overhead to differentiate the multiple replies,
you give that savings back, and then some.)
