Does data packet size affects current/power consumption during data transmission?

Question

I am sending 13 bytes of data from my BLE application. Will the current consumption reduce after i limit that data to 4 bytes?

Hi sushil 
 That depends, it is better to send most of the data in one burst compared to many small data transmissions. If those additional 9 bytes is not necessary, then you will save some power by only transmitting those 4 bytes. 
 (you would save ~9us transmission time at arround 16uA) 
 But if you transmit all those data in smaller burst, then you have a bigger overlay of data transmitted.
