A properly written program will stop at the EOF marker ($1A), so there is no need to pad additional $1As after the first one.  All that data is 'don't care' mode as it will never be processed. That's the way I've always done it.

I think I'll do that from now on.  Padding the file length out to a record
was done out of an abundance of caution.  But if nobody else has found it
necessary, then it's less work for me.  I had a utility to pad files but
being an extra step, it was more hassle than worth.
