Yes, but if you add extra stuff (see start of script) 8xDVD5 is not guaranteed anymore (depending on size of extra stuff)

Thank you so Much for this amazing and hard work!
A lot of reg entries after and I made this work like a charm!

I create a main folder called "The Sims 3 Deluxe" to compress base game + all addons and DLCs

Then I have the following structure folder:

X:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Deluxe\

Inside this there are the game base and all DLCs folders.

I compressed too Electronic Arts folder from My Documents and all InstallShield folders.
I forgot to exclude Support folders.

So, I got 7 DVDs:

DVD1 = 4.37 GB
DVD2 - DVD6 = 4.35 GB
DVD7 = 491 MB

I'll share my installScript from The Sims 3 Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil) if somebody wants to use.
Only thing to do is to change the serials in Serial Section (XXXXX values to your keys).

Thank you again for this work and I hope to help too!
