The quick answer is no; you cannot pick and choose which .NET DLL files to include as part of your code in order to reduce the size of the install.
However, having said that, there are some tools out there which will merge assemblies together into one file. But I don’t know if that scales to including all required .NET assemblies. I doubt it very much.
