Actually, not even 50 MB. The Master Ships List is 21.4 MB and currently numbers 2,477 pages, while the Careers document is 6.33 MB and 1,945 pages (it only covers officers who served in WWII; if I were to include all IJN officers, the list would be even more massive). The Officer Listing is 5.14 MB and 851 pages. So all told, 32.87 MB and 5,273 pages.
