I've gotten it to work fine (tested on a 520c and Quadra 800). Don't get me wrong, it's not easy but I'll do my best to describe how I did it. First I downloaded the whole 19 files and then decompressed the whole deal (gives you a folder which is your installer). Anyway, I then used it to instal the basic OS (custom instal) onto a blank hard drive which now gave me my system folder. Now the hard part. I then used disk copy to make me a blank image file (use standard hfs) and threw the installer and the system folder onto it so now when you open the .img file you have your installer and the system folder on it. I then used Toast Ti 5, selected other (hold down on the mouse) and then selected Mac Volume and this gives you the option to select the mounted image. Select it, click bootable (gotten weird results selecting optimize on the fly, might want to unclick it) and presto a bootable 7.5.3 installer.
You may also want to add the 7.5.5 updater to the disk as well. Just be sure to put the updater into it's own folder, make an alias and put that next to the 7.5.3 installer icon.
