Just booted mine up and you're correct about the size of Mint Mate. It's about 14Gb. I don't remeber what OS was 4Gb.
Also for extra security I added 2FA to my sign in. Anytime I enter a login password I need to get a code from the authenticator app on my phone.
I have a similar set up (with a 32gb built in SSD). I use it when traveling. In my experience running an OS off of an SD kills the card in about a year and it dies without warning. Make sure you don't save anything important on there without a back up.
Love what you've done here and can't wait to see more of your projects.
Mint Mate will run like fire on that little guy. Plus a full install is less than 4Gb. Using the built in SSD with full disk encryption would give you a really secure laptop, especially since the SSD is not removable.
