I see your point but don't agree with you at all. I'm still a greenie but I would meen that a half full scrubber would meen a shorter gas travel through the sorb. My concern is that in a situation with heavy work load or problems expired gas will not be in active scrubber material for a suffecient amount of time to remove all CO2 = bad spiral.
Perhaps you should see it the other way around and say: With a full scrubber I need to go diving a bit more..
instead of reducing safety.
Just my 2 cents
Dive safe

You could always make a cylindrical packer, like a thick walled tube. Then when you insert this into the scrubber it leaves a smaller cross sectional area in the center but the same column height. Just fill the center piece with sorb and bobs your aunty.
Just a thought. Don't know if it would actually work. I guess you would have to have some sort of seal around the outside to stop any CO2 laden gasses bypassing the scrubber material. Anyone brave enought to try it?
