Many games come with extra junk on there that can be deleted. If you can delete enough, it will fit. Check http://www.balugabutt.com to see what kind of deletions (if any) you can make on your particular game.

Then your only option is to unpack the ISO and start deleting games that you don't want. Unlike a DVD movie, there is no way to compress these ROMs more than they are already.

that must have a ton of games on it. I have BEAD discs with like 14,000 roms on them and it was under 4.7GB
and they covered a bunch of systems including N64 and also included the emulators.
Putting them on two discs may be your best option. Are the files you got split into two or are they all one file?
I ask because you said it wans a multi disc thing.

And remember on all disc you can remove the following files which usually significantly reduces the size of the game:

dashupdate.xbe
update.xbe
downloader.xbe
