There is no problem with having many helpers.  Only the clients that are
specifically configured to use a helper will do so, and they'll use the
helper they're pointed at (there's no automatic discovery/selection of
helpers).

The helper receives the file after AES encryption but before splitting into
shares.  So the file uploaded to the helper is the same size as the
original, but it's already encrypted.
