Actually the 21st of July patch is one that takes your 4.0.0 install all the way up to the latest build. I just reinstalled the beta yesterday and instead of using the archived patch installers I had in the folder it went straight to downloading and installing the 7/21 patch.
We're currently duplicating old content like we did with the StarCraft 2 Beta. We'll start merging stuff in the future but right now we're more concerned with testing content.

With the new build they're now stripping a lot of that old content they duplicated out.
This is why it's only 1.36 GB versus 2.93 GB. The old patch installers had redundant patch data in them.
