Just to clarify, how do you use the extra columns in this scenario? My suggestion was to have the output file that includes only the map coefficient columns, so you still can look at the map. IIRC, FP/SIGFP columns from refmac output are actually modified from the input (scaled with Boverall), so it was not recommended to use refmac output as input of any kind.
Also, to provide context, my comment resulted from dealing with a large chunk of data that included ~200 output mtz files - which is Gb-sized tarball that had to be uploaded/downloaded. Not the end of the world, but cutting it in half seemed like a good idea at the time. :) Not hard to script that, of course. I am not necessarily advocating for skinny files to be the default, but as it stands, refmac/buster/phenix do not even provide the option of doing it (It's entirely possible that I am wrong here on specifics and will get corrected by Garib, Gerard and Pavel).
