By itself, probably not since things are already compressed.

But when I was doing some experiments a few months back I discovered
that using the Bcj armthumb compression reduced the size of the squashfs
image by about 400k -- I assumed it was because a bunch of the firmware
is actually arm assembly but didn't look any deeper.

So if it's possible to apply arch-specific compression to them it may
reduce things slightly.
