As you say the Module element doesn't seem to have the Media child element (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_module.htm) but it doesn't really matter. When the merge module is consumed into an MSI its files will be compressed into the media table of the MSI and therefore use the same level of compression as all the other files in the MSI.
Unless you're passing large merge modules around & want to save on bandwidth and/or disk space there's very little need for it & even in those situations there's plenty of freely available tools to reduce the file size (e.g. 7zip).

Can I do similar things when I am creating a merge module? The <Module> element does not have a <Media> child...
