You could say that the size used in rom is 3/5ths of the disk size, but you'd be wrong more often then not.

that's actually the easy part of it
To do it right, you need incremental building...which fundamentally is a different architecture. In the short run, I'm making a solution that will approximate the in ROM size, but won't be exact...so if you try to fill every last little byte, it may take you a couple iterations, but you'll have a fair indication of when you're near the edge.
