My /boot isn't big enough for a full series either, but my $HOME is :-)

The fact that the packages I create all have the same package name and 
only the package version differs, means that I do get the complete series 
but only have one version installed in /boot at any time (as installing a 
new version overwrites the version from the previous bisect iteration). 

No idea if you can do the same on an RPM-based system easily.
