You can complete the process using 1 CD and 1 DVD. Use the CD first, and it will create the "IBM Rescue and Recovery Startup Disc" and use the DVD next to create the "IBM Product Recovery Disc".
It will not expect 6 DVDs to be inserted.
This page has additional information.

I just made a set for my T42. The first disc needs to be a CD. This is your boot disc. The next disc can be a DVD or else 6 CD's. This is the Product Recovery Software, including Windows.
When I made my first set, I used 7 CD's. After I restored factory contents with these discs, I made another set using one CD and one DVD. You can only burn one set. But if you restore factory contents, you can burn a set again.
