An xfce installation will pull in about 600 M of packages no matter what
you choose to do. Does this give some perspective?

What I would consider is:

1. Skip installation of a desktop in d-i and finish the remainder of the
   process.

2. Reboot, log in and create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs.

3. Edit this file to have

     Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";

   Packages should remain in /var/cache/apt/archives/ for you to reuse.
   No futher downloading of xfce packages is now needed. You have your
   own personal "ISO" at no extra cost to disk space or bandwidth.

4. And finally do

     apt install task-xfce-desktop
