PS: GTA4 compression test from me

 15:56:44 - Overall input size: 30.93 GB
 15:56:44 - Overall output size: 13.48 GB (Ratio 43.58%)
 15:56:44 - Overall conversion time: 00:58:27

 16:08:51 - Overall decompression time: 00:11:52

I used LZMA-MT instead of lolz.

Edit:
Here is my configuration. With this you should get 13GB with LZMA-MT or less if you use lolz (probably).

Data1.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data1.Method1=msc+srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data1.InclText=*.rpf

Data2.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data2.Method1=xtool:mzlib+srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data2.InclText=*.img|*.wtd

Data3.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data3.Method1=bpk|0
Data3.InclText=*.bik

Data4.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data4.Method1=srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data4.ExclText=*.img|*.rpf|*.bik|*.wtd

As for the first archive I applied srep+LZMA-MT after msc because I found out that all of the files contain raw audio (msc do a good job here) and some other files aswell, so use srep and a compressor of your choice afterwards.

As for the file splitting: You have to select the "~ Unlimited ~" tab in the options on the bottom.

Edit 2:
As for the ASIS installer: you don't have to copy anything. Open Settings.ini and make your settings there, like game name, game size and so on, disable or enable options you want (see included help file located in "Help\Settings.txt"). After this you just open "Script.iss" with Inno Setup 6+ and compile the script (maybe you can just run "Compile_Script.bat" if you don't want to download and install Inno Setup). Then copy Setup.exe to the compressed game files which diskspangui created and then you can unpack/install the game with the Setup.exe.
