No, this is not the case. The free elite allowance is not an "extra" piece. It merely waives the charge that would have been levied on that bag otherwise. And if there are further bags, they will start higher up on the charge scale....because the number of "free" bags are still counted in determining which number bag this is for charging purposes.
