its because they hold an alpha channel when Prefab saves an image it compares the transparent prop of the bitmapdata's. if it detects one, it saves as png else jpg. and having an uncompress png of this size will indeed require some data :)
but the main problem is not that its doing this way, as you easly can swap them afterwards. you model is reusing this huge maps over and over there is no need to do so. in v1 of prefab, I had implemented a prop export as jpg/png to be set by hand. Because it required lots of edits by hand, I choosed to do it automatically instead. but may be its a good idea to mix now as projects become bigger. Where unless its specified, it would export like now or, as jpg or png if specified per mesh/map.
