The only reason that it looks like the var takes up that much space is
that the calc uses the length bytes of a var when it displays the size of
it, and since this is not the correct value for "a" it displays the wrong
size. However when the calc calculates how much memory you have left it
uses some pointers stored in system mem, and these are not affected by the
wrong length field. So the only thing which takes up mem is the VAT entry
which is 6 Bytes.

So it might look like your calc "doesn't realize" that, but it is not the
matrix which causing the problem.
