My thinking for longer encoding is we would not add different mask registers, but instead possibly expand set of architectural vector registers.
 
Does that mean continuing to assume fusing a mask move with an instruction where desired?

Not necessarily with a larger mask register specifier. For example, with 3b mask register specifier, we could expand to encode v0-v6 as mask sources with 111 meaning unmasked.
