Well then you can just leave the dmg as a dmg and just mount it with
hdid (etc) as well too. That is you don't have to expand the dmg's
onto disk.

You can just install the packages from the mounted dmg. They're in
System/Installation/Packages.
No. Do Not Do That. It will Not work correctly.
The latest OS Install packages are designed to use features in the
latest Installer. If you try to install them using a version of the
Installer older than they are, they may fail in subtle ways.
And if you really wanted a bootable disk that does fit on single
layer DVD media you could convert the dmg so it's writable and
delete the XCode Tools folder which should drop the size of the dmg
down small enough to burn to a single layer DVD. You can burn
similarly burn the XCode Tools to a separate DVD.
That'd be sort of ok.
