If you look at the RB .rbp binary project file format with say, a

size whenever you make an edit to a method.
But they don't amount to much. They only fill out project item
blocks to make them land on even boundaries, and you'd never have
more than one such padding section for each project item in the
project -- and they never exceed a certain size. It can't account
for the posted observations.
In the past, we've had problems where certain icon data would cause
the project file to grow on each save. We fixed that a while back,
though, and I'm not aware of any such issues in the current version.
If you export all your project items, then create a new project,
and drag them in, and the size of this saved new project is
substantially smaller, then I think you have uncovered some similar
bug. Otherwise, I think it's just a big project.
Ahm ...
No, that's not a good idea. This Project really is too big, for a
project rebuild. I think there is a need for a repair tool. Sure, for
a little project you can do it manually, but if you've got a big and
complex project file, you can't do it without forgetting something,
so there is the need for a project tool too, perhaps?
Best,
