"Normal" sizes are relative. It depends heavily on the type of documents that you store, specifically if / how much textual content Alfresco can extract from those files and index. 64GiB sound like a bit much considering 87 GiB of content, but if that content is all text or even stored in compressed format, it could be reasonable.

You can use an aspect in Alfresco to exclude files / folders from indexing. The cm:indexControl aspect can be used to do this. This aspect provides a cm:isIndexed property which can be set to false to completely exclude the item from indexing, while another property cm:isContentIndexed can be set to false to exclude the file content from being indexed while the file itself is still indexed using its metadata.
