I do it like this:

The idea is that you make a regular package that contains the tar.bz2 of the 
image you want in flash and put that into the image for the SD card.

You cannot have the same image, since that would recursively include itself, 
but you could make big-image.bb like this:

require small-image.bb
IMAGE_INSTALL += "big-project"
