Yes.

Splitting out 8859-2 & 8859-16 would drop about 420k each from the above.

I don't know how to find out what font sets would be used or not.

to split them out later.

Many of them, yes.   I think the Syriac ones are rare enough to be repo-only,
but would expect someone more familiar with what they're actually used for to
be more able to comment on them.   Hopefully the i18n groups can give more
advice as to which of the other charsets to include.
