"Despite being 'XL', the parachute offers no extra drag, whether it is semi-deployed or fully deployed, the only difference is that it's bigger." I'm not sure about this, my understanding is that drag in KSP is calculated by multiplying the part's mass by it's drag constant. This parachute seems to have the same drag constant as the standard model but three times the mass.
