Were the two dictionaries already zipped dictionaries (dicthml-something.zip)? If yes, then this difference in size looks rather suspicious. You could unzip the merged dictionary, decompress one or the other .html file (it is gzipped) and look what is really inside. Maybe this gives you a hint what has happened. Did you try the new dictionary already on the Kobo?

Edit: I tried now penelope for the first time. When converting two kobo dictionaries, the definitions get lost. For instance

Code:
<w><a name="Alpha"/><div><b>Alpha</b><br/>This is the definition for Alpha</div></w>
of one input dictionary becomes
Code:
<html><w><a name="Alpha"/><div><b>Alpha</b><br/></div></w>
in the merged dictionary. Is it the same with your dictionary?
