The uncompressed image has ~11gb and it would grow as you use it.
However it should be easy to shrink that.
The image has 3 (boot/swap/root) partitions, where the boot partition has
32mb. If i'm correct you only have to create a new image, make 2 or 3 (depends
if you need swap) partitions on it, where the first one (/boot) must have the
same size like in the original image (means 32mb).
Than you dd the boot partition and copy the files of the root partiton to your
new image. The files should fit perfectly on a ~10gb hd too since they just need
~1,5 gb.
I could try it on my own, but than i would take some time...
