It is a simple task for a bot to hoover up loose pennies.
My bots do precisely that. Every little helps! Seeing sub £2 volume is not a problem. It depends on the software. I code my own so it sees everything.
There are two ways to hoover up the pennies. Either matching the exact amount or by making a £2 back/lay and as soon as it snatches the pennies cancelling the remainder of the bet. Depending on the update rate of your software, you are unlikely to see it happen.
