Sam, ideally you should have used the larger bag. While the meat will shrink somewhat during the aging the air pocket you described will always be there. Since you have a good bond on the meat then the fact that the bone side has no contact isn’t as big of a concern since little aging will occur on that side anyway. What does concern me though is the possibility of accidentally puncturing that span of unsupported material. I suggest you be very careful and avoid handling that meat during the drying period. Ron
