I have a further question:

Can the PMTU of the smallest path of an association shrink between the
transmission of a bundled packet and its retransmission forcing the
sender to retransmit the various chunks of a message in more messages?

i.e. : Can I just track the highest TSN in a packet and look for its
ack, or should I track every data chunk of each packet separatelly?

Thanks Again,
Luis
