Hi, you are looking from the wrong side :) Those two lenses (especially 70mm) wouldn't be any smaller if made for reduced image circle. Fullframe DA21, OTOH, would have been much more complex and expensive to design. DA means "optimized for digital" and no one have ever said if DA lenses have to be usable on film bodies or not. In a meaning of products (something that you can sell NEW to people), those are beautiful history anyways. So think about the full frame coverage on DA40 and DA70 as an BONUS for true Pentax fans. No extra cost, nothing to worry about...
