I think, that in this case is better to create an unsupported/unofficial ~ version, fitting on 650MB disks, unless Mandrakesoft releases both version (clearly marked, so that there is no confusion and people mixing up disks).
Honestly, how many such old machines are going to be installed with Mandrake ? I didn't see a machine unable to read 700MB ISOs in a very long time. If the box is unable to read them, then probably Mandrake isn't the best choice for it anyway - low memory, old CPU and such.
