Make a freehand selection of a segment within one path

The solution provided by Ofnuts is more practical, with just one selection you can get the desired result.

Using the  ofn-path-edits plug-in in:

Edit-Extract-Strokes and 
Edit-Delet-Strokes

Dear Krikor, dear Ofnuts,

I stumbled upon the following issue while working with ofn-path-edit plugin;

As soon as I start extracting (same with deleting) a chunk of my path, the size of the file ramps up like crazy. The initial file size for the path/file which I'm trying to modify, is 160 mb. After deleting 90% of my path (or extracting 10%), the file size grows upwards of 10 GB..
This seems excessive, since if I copy the path, and then extract a significant chunk of it.. this should not increase my file size with any more than the original 160 mb.. right?

In this manner, I won't be able to use the plug-in after all...

Any thoughts?
Warm regards,
J-G1
