Thanks drysdalk for the tips. That is indeed sound reasoning. I did find however, that the repomanage from the yum-utils RPM works wonders. This did the trick as far as I can tell. I'm still evaluating the results.

Code:
cp $(repomanage --keep=10 --new /path/to/the-large-repo) /path/to/new_repo 
createrepo /path/to/new_repo

But my new repo may still be two large, though it is now down to 38000+ packages vice 42000+. I think I will try --keep=5 as I originally intended.
