    I'm guessing that these are for DVDs?

    However, when you try to do the installation it asks for those other discs. Kinda weird...maybe it is just me though.

    Maybe they're made for 700 Mb discs? I've one a few occasions seen that the ISOs are a bit larger than the "output" when burned to a CD, don't know why, maybe it's in the ISO format?

    Don’t worry, these are designed for 700mb CDs. ISO images are usually larger then the amount they actually burn onto the CD.
