Brian,
I would plan on buying another bar for your larger kite. Shorter bars go with smaller kites as longer bars go with larger kites. It deals with leverage and balancing control inputs. A well experienced kiter and perhaps a strong one might "try" to get by with a bar suitable for a 9 m kite with something larger like a 16 m. I've done it, didn't like the experience, took a lot of the fun and performance out of the session. Kite response is screwed up and it takes way too much strength.
