I assume the piped file is not an ISO9660 image already and what you want is to
create an ISO9660 image containing a single file? (your "example" above won't
fit on a standard 650M CD ...)
It is possible to pipe any data to cdrecord - doesn't have to be an ISO9660
image - the data could be a tar archive - of course, the CD will not
mountable as a file system, but you can use tar to extract data from
the raw device as you can with any other media.
To answer your question directly - no it can't be done - however, disks are
"cheap", so buying space to fit 650M of data would probably be the best bet ...
