You can stock up on components as long as they remain unchanged. However, if Merc decides to use more tokens in the future then that means new components and more grid penalties. That's why it was smart of Merc to use some tokens and incur the grid penalties for Ham all in one race.
IIRC, last year McLaren-Honda incurred close to 50 grid spot penalties (or something close to a ridiculous amount) when they had to change engines on both cars.
