I'm not sure what the actual goal is here, but these two commands
show the total doc size in megabytes, namely 763.215:
  sed -n 's/^docfiles size=//p' texlive.tlpdb |
  awk '{sum += $1} END{print sum/1024}'

Replacing "doc" with ".*" shows the total size of all, namely 1769.29:
  sed -n 's/^.*files size=//p' texlive.tlpdb |
  awk '{sum += $1} END{print sum/1024}'

763.215 / 1769.29 = 43%

Let me also mentioned the tlpkg/bin/tlpsizes script I wrote long ago to
compute the sizes per-collection, or per-scheme, or for given packages,
showing the largest packages in the given collection/scheme.
The output starts like this:

$ tlpsizes
2008 collection-fontsextra        330 202736/noto 133208/newcomputermodern ...
 982 collection-latexextra       1413 45208/lm 40576/latex-base-dev ...
 479 collection-langjapanese       64 124832/japanese-otf 59604/pxufont ...
 380 collection-pstricks          113 86344/pst-geo 36172/pst-marble ...
...

Best,
Karl
