Default How should I split 1.8GB of AIX 5.3 TL7 data onto CDs?

I've just downloaded 1.8GB of AIX 5.3 Technology Level 7 data so that
I can bring my machines up to the latest level. However I'd like to
use CDs as the install medium because I don't have a lot of disk space
to spare.
With the standard AIX install CDs when fileset dependencies are worked
out I get prompted to load the appropriate CD when it is needed. But
if I split my downloaded TL7 data onto 3 or 4 CDs I suspect that this
is not going to work. Given the prerequisite dependencies it's likely
to be a nightmare trying to determine what filesets to put on which
CD. I've found that if I only update the filesets that are actually
installed on my main machine it will require 800MB - unfortunately
more than a CD will take...
Help!
TIA
Jeffrey
