I let VirtualBox do dynamic allocation for the disk. I installed Centos7 development/creative station and built sage7.3 from source. The size of the .vdi file is ~8GBytes. That shouldn't be too surprising; if you compare that to the .ova file (~3GBytes) the vdi is bigger but still comparable...they essentially do the same thing.
