So, if you have more pellets than bactertia once you hit ultra low nutrients would the excess pellets just hang out until they are eventutally consumed? While not impacting your system ? Just curious and something that crossed my mind :-)

You are on the right track,
however if you "overdose" pellets you might have a "bacteria Bloom" depending on how much " Bacteria food" other then the pellets is available.
Because pellets are "food source" themselves.
