I think a better format to use is the PKCS #15 one, which doesn't require
every single component to be present.  This has two benefits, firstly it makes
the key data smaller, and secondly it recognises the fact that since you never
need all of the components, some implementations don't generate them, so
there's nothing available to store.

(PKCS #15 also provides the format for wrapping the key).
