larger size after merge hex file

[RufusVS]

The first 2 digits is number of data bytes per line. So you can see, intelhex writes 0x10 (16) bytes per line, while the sercord default is 0x20 (32) data bytes per line. This is where the difference is. I believe either of the program will let you set the default data bytes per line, so they can be the same. srecord also has srec_cmp.exe with which you could compare the two hex file binary images, which should tell you that despite the formats, the file contents are actually the same. But since srecord is putting more data per line, there is less overhead (colon, length, start address, record type) per line and fewer lines.

Sorry for not working on your issue. I'm looking for a new maintainer for Python IntelHex project. I hope someone will help.
