This is not exactly package size. Each release comes with a file that says how much space is needed for the file systems. The upgrade code reads from a file and adds a overhead. It will then include the size of the files those will be preserved during the upgrade. So there is no control during the upgrade. You can delete or move some of the files to create more space for upgrade. Can you try upgrade with 35 gb free space and see whether the upgrade is successful.
