Correct me if I'm wrong, but the RAM would still

I thought originally you were trying to solve the problem of having an
"extra" nibble to find room for, when using a 12-bit processor on an
8-bit bus. If that is called "extra", then having a 12-bit processor
on a 16-bit bus has the opposite problem, which is a "missing" nibble.
