Just out of curiosity, what is the space for 7/x86_64 ?  I'm guessing
this would be small enough to fit onto a double-layer DVD.  If you then
donk the debug tree from there you could probably fit the rest onto a
single layer DVD, the vast majority of people would not care for more
than a single arch of binary-only packages from a single release and
have no need for -debuginfo packages.  I'm not saying that epel should
release this, but it would be much more reasonable for an individual to
burn this subset to a DVD for their own use.

We provide a handy way to answer this sort of question:

Oh cool, I had no idea about that.

So you'd need 6.3G for all the binary epel7 x86_64 packages, they'd
fit on a double-layer DVD but not a cheaper single-layer one.

Similarly you'd need 11.4 for epel 6 x86_64 so that won't work unless
you donk some packages first, but it'd be fine on a 16G USB stick,
similar for i386.  epel 5 is smaller but would still need a
double-layer disk for x86_64, i386 is only 4.6G, though, so it would
barely fit on a single-layer disk.

It is possible that compression might be able to help with these as
well but I think that the rpms are already compressed.

It's technically possible to put a copy of EPEL repo on any removable
media provided it has enough space, but as far as I know nobody is
producing EPEL "images". Why don't you try doing it yourself?
