200MB isn't a particularly big PDF. I've worked with some that were over 1GB.
I don't think anything that can't be printed belongs in a PDF.

It might save time to copy and paste an existing frame containing an icon,
copy the icon you need, select the icon in the frame, and paste to replace

If you need to do that, unstructured FrameMaker's not a good tool since you
can't merge to .fm files.
Structured FrameMaker could work, but if you're migrating from unstructured
