There is no single 40k packet at the router.  The sending host is
fragmenting the packet to 1500 byte IP fragments, because a 40k packet
cannot be sent over Ethernet.

*If* there were a 40k packet, PPP might fragment it and distribute it
over the multilink members, but that is a local configuration issue.
