Ah interesting. Of course rear rack can stay in, it's not really overhanging. Front in the other hand.
Agree regarding bags, apart from weight on shoulder it's a pretty funny shaped thing, and not easy to get into the train without banging into everything.
One thing I did and thought was clever is strapping the wheels in a way so the thing stands on its own.
c.h.e.

What it looked like inside of the bag. But because the rack is mounted to the rear axle there was still some rack-taking off action. I kept the upper bolts tightened and kept it pulled against the seatpost with a Voile strap. In hindsight it might have been better to keep it like that until reassembly and just carry both panniers separate from the bike to keep the weight on that minimalist-and-not-super-comfortable shoulder strap down. Also saves some wrenching time, but makes for a slightly less sturdy package.
