If anyone is interested I did finally get round to processing it all, and due to the sparsity of data we have, for all 23 zoom levels and all species we have information on, the result was 807 million PNGs, which is $8,000 to PUT to S3 - too much for me to pay.
So like most things I will probably go for a compromise and pre process 10 zoom levels into S3 which will only come in at $457 (only the PUT into S3) and then render the rest on the fly. Only people browsing beyond zoom 10 are then hitting the real time rendering servers so I think this will work out ok performance wise.
