Any idea's why the re-write was alot smaller than initially suggested? or is it 1GB across multiple patches?

The size of the patch is largely irrelevant. As the rewrite is the engine, not the textures and models, there is not going to be a massive size to them. The largest part of the update is probably sounds files and images. The engine itself does not include all the images and models, so doesn't need to be multiple GBs large.
