I don't really understand your problem, but anyways. 1 MB = 1024 KB, so 4MB is = 4096 KB.
The multiplayer map size limit is not exactly 4MB as far as I know, but a little more.
You can use Vexorian's Optimizer to save disk space. The latest version is 4.7.
When you import things the import manager tells you the total file size of your imports but don't forget that the World Editor compresses your map so your final map size is going to be much less.
I think these things cover all the disk-space related problems.
