I'm not sure what packages you are trying to install, so can't answer 
the space question, but the easiest command to populate the directory is 
pip on the internet-connected machine:

     pip install --download=~/packages <packages>

now copy that directory onto your USB key (or whatever) and take it to 
the offline machine. If you're planning to do a *lot* of installations, 
you can also use (once you install the wheel package):

     pip wheel --no-index --find-links=/path/to/download <packages>

to create fast-installing wheels from each of the dependencies (do that 
on the target machine so that all libraries match).

HTH,
Mike
