I don't understand - if the conversion is successful and the output is larger than the input, what shall we help if you can't get more available space? I doubt any other tool will let you have a smaller output - else there could be something wrong if one tool brings another output than the other.
So with what do you need help please
Try getting more space, maybe temporary from your SAN guys or ask a coworker if he has sufficient space somewhere on one of his servers where you can convert your stuff.

asciitopgm
asciitopgm(1) General Commands Manual asciitopgm(1)
NAME
asciitopgm - convert ASCII graphics into a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
asciitopgm [-d divisor] height width [asciifile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads ASCII data as input. Produces a portable graymap with pixel values which are an approximation of the "brightness" of the ASCII char-
acters, assuming black-on-white printing. In other words, a capital M is very dark, a period is ver light, and a space is white. Input
lines which are fewer than width characters are automatically padded with spaces.
The divisor argument is a floating-point number by which the output pixels are divided; the default value is 1.0. This can be used to
adjust the brightness of the graymap: for example, if the image is too dim, reduce the divisor.
In keeping with (I believe) Fortran line-printer conventions, input lines beginning with a + (plus) character are assumed to "overstrike"
the previous line, allowing a larger range of gray values.
This tool contradicts the message in the pbmtoascii manual: "Note that there is no asciitopbm tool - this transformation is one-way."
BUGS
The table of ASCII-to-grey values is subject to interpretation, and, of course, depends on the typeface intended for the input.
