Of course, one could always provide functionality (within the installer) to download the optional components. That way the user doesn't have to download a 41MB file if he/she doesn't want to. No need to pack them up into one installer IMO

IIRC a lot of installers support this, and I've seen this kind of thing in Windows installers as well as NSIS and some other installers. Something like the way the MinGW GUI installer works.

I can't think of any advantages of packaging them together.
It actually sounds more confusing that helpful.

I intend to package the BE so that you have one installer for the

have right now.
You are aware that 14 MB + 16 MB + 11 MB = 41 MB ?
I really see no point in bundling them all together.
