Moved to the RPG Maker VX forum, as this is not a long demo.

No compressed archive will reduce the size of a VX game from 7.5 MB to 2MB - it represents roughly a 73% compression, a performance inattainable in this case.
But you know, 7.5 MB is small size for a game, why do you need it even smaller?

Well, you COULD concievably use 7-zip at the ultra compression level with the highest block size setting and it MIGHT compress the game that small, but it would take a MASSIVE amount of memory space, and your game would be unencrypted.

No, it won't. Both PNG and JPG files are already compressed so you can't gain much on this. You'll gain a bit more with .rvdata files but not enough for 73% performance.
To be certain, I tried 7Zip Ultra compression on a 4.5 MB demo (without any sound effect or music) and it was 3.6 after compression. You can hope to gain size with WAV files though - if you have SE at WAV format, convert it to OGG. If you have even one mp3 track, convert it to OGG as well (with Audacity). Other than that, there's nothing to do.
But then again, 7.5MB is small.
