The hole in the baffle is situated directly behind the secondary to let air through and further reduce the wind profile. Don't want it to act like a sail or vibrate excessively in a breeze.
Easy to do, but as for how much difference it makes.
I think one of the first additions to the parachute was a hole in the top to cut down on turbulence and make it more controllable. Not sure of the exact aerodynamics though.
