This is a good alternative. But again the number of steps may not always decide if there is any savings or not.
You are reading the file twice. One pass is always better than two pass.
You have extended each record 10 times towards the end or record. Depends on what exactly you try to "save", and if we have run sufficient tests to substantiate that.

And what if for some reason in the future, someone decides to split into 50 amounts, you need to extend your record further more towards the right and code additional 40 lines in the OVERLAY
