I created a blank A4 document and saved as odt and the size was 6801. I 
altered the margins and the size was 6848.

Mine was 62464, I altered the margins and the size was the same.

Although some one pointed a concrete solution or explanation, the fact is that 
the structures of this documents are so complex that the size of the saved 
files depends of so many factors that it's (almost) impossible the establish 
a correlation with the size of the file and some particular aspect of the 
contents of the document.

I worked with Word more them 10 years and I remember the size "jumps" of the 
doc files, specially with pics. Once I detected that a particular graphic of 
some Kb extended the file some Mb, remaining the file unstable. Deleted it 
reinserted it and all went ok after.

Software is also and still an art :-)
