There are the three 4.5 GB DVD images which you already found, or the fourteen 4.5 GB DVD images via Jigdo at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dvd/ or three 25 GB BD images at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-bd/ The first BD image on a 32 GB USB stick would be the nearest match to your plan that is already prepared. Jigdo download is described in https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#how If none of this appeals to you, there is https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive "Downloading Debian Jigdo ISOs by a Debian Live system" Well, if only a 16 GB USB stick is available or if BitTorrent is mandatory, then you could put the DVD 1 image on the stick as described in https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb and then use partition editor fdisk to add a partition for an ext2 filesystem which stores the images of DVD 2 and DVD 3. fdisk will possibly complain about GPT debris and nested partitions. It should nevertheless do what is needed. Some merciful people here can most probably explain to you how to make those images usable as package repositories after a sparse system has been installed from the booted DVD 1 image on USB stick. (https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList makes me think that you need to mount the ext2 partition, then mount the two images, and put their mount points as "deb file://..." into /etc/apt/sources.list) Have a nice day :) Thomas
