How much larger? And do you mean file size, or number of samples (or
both)?
What happens if you don't use the compression option for C?
What's the full output from both 'stat' & 'stats' for all the files
concerned?

You didn't process A.flac though, but instead T04.flac. Was it actually
identical to A.flac? Are you certain of that?

That's in itself not necessarily unexpected if the two files contained
different amounts of music.
Also, does the compression you used on one of these files just affect
its size in bytes, or does it also (perhaps minutely) change the sound?

Dunno. Which version of sox, ffmpeg etc, and on what platform?
