At 1,685,278 bytes this almost fits on within the hallowed 1.44 megabytes. Maybe the front and rear covers can be discarded?

A storage disk doesn't need ability to do random block writes, if you ditch that you can remove the sector gaps and put more sectors on the drive. The Microsoft DMF format and utility can put 1,720,320 bytes on a drive.

It should fit on an DMF MF-2HD (standard double-sided, high density, 90 millimeters microfloppy formatted in Distribution Media Format, holding 1'720'320 bytes).
