If you create whole file patches then you might get that size issue, but patches can be smaller, the delta between the files.
I don't know if Burn can do that, but the question is: how does the customer know when to run it? It's not too difficult for the app to call a company web service passing the ProductCodes and ProductVersions of what's installed and having it tell you if there are updates to download, but it does take that infrastructure work.
