How much better would that get if you append all but one of the equal size documents? (or other combinations like 2 of the top results after using a single one)

Even general purpose compression methods which theoretically can, often deliberately reset part of their context, since assuming a big file follows the same distribution throughout as in its beginning often hurts compression more than just starting over periodically.
