I don't mind losing the patch, as it has turned out that I don't need it.

If you are updating a device the firmware update is intended for, you would copy the entire contents of the .zip file to the .kobo directory. OTOH, if you are updating a device that the firmware update is not intended for, you would copy the KoboRoot.tgz file only into the .kobo directory.
The patches would have to be re-installed after the firmware update as the modified files would be overwritten by the update.
So if you have a KA1 or Aura2, copy the entire set of files, if you are updating an H2O (as an example), just copy the KoboRoot.tgz. As the Glo HD is also a mark 6 hardware, you should be able to copy the entire file set.
While I haven't seen a Kobo ereader bricked by a firmware update not intended for it, there is no guarantee that this might not happen.
