If they are hooked up "per the rules" they will not function as a storage device, they will function as a pneumatic actuator. The rule clearly states only the two provided cylinders can be used as storage devices. Not extra hose, not extra coils, not the robot frame, not spare pneumatic actuators.
And if the other cylinders are added as "dead weight", why would you hook up pneumatic lines to them and risk the air loss unless you were planning to use that air, clearly in violation of the rules.
