/var/cache/yum/*/packages.

Uhh, there's no way you need 29 GB of disk space - yum is confused. Did you at
least get to the downloading file stage? If so, you can go
to /var/cache/yum/*/packages, and install the files there with rpm.
(rpm's --ignoresize option would be helpful here, if you actually have the
disk space.) Or, you can take the filelist of files yum wants to install, and
pick the largest rpms and 'yum install' it separately (with its
dependencies). Eventually, you will get past the confusion, and be able to
install the rest in one step.
