Moving xfsprogs from disc4 to disc1 would fit, disc1 would go to 652822
which is less than disc3.

OTOH, you could copy all of disc1-4 into a single directory then boot
disc1 using option 'askmethod'.  Point the installer at the merged
directory (either local or NFS) and you will never have to swap a CD
again.  Well worth it if you need to upgrade more than one machine.
