Within your Lighting window,

Under Baked GI, reduce Baking Resolution from 45 to 10

Under Object Tab, select your buildings and other unimportant object, and reduce the UV Atlas scale from 1 to say, 0.5 or so.

Under your terrain, reduce quality and/or UV scale.

I once baked a map with a small town featuring some 40 house models and a wall made of 57 or so segments. They're not complex models but somewhat large, containing very large surface area. I ended up with 22 lightmap pairs (intensity + directionality) which was a total of 60MB of data.

Simply reducing House and Wall models scaling from 1 to 0.4 reduced maps from 22 to 3. I even had space to increase the terrain a bit.

I recommend you aim for 2 lightmaps, tweak your Terrain to cover one full lightmap, and all your other objects on other lightmap.
