Rather than ‘svn checkout’ the working copy across this link, is it possible to take the local created working copy, burn it to DVD, hand carry it to the remote computer, copy it to disk there and end up with a valid working copy at the remote computer?

Yes, that should work fine.

But note that data is compressed when transmitted over the wire, and also a working copy contains a complete redundant set of all files, so the amount of data transmitted over the network would be only a fraction of the 3.8-GB working copy size. (What fraction depends on how compressable your data is.)
