With Packaging Utility command line, you can create a repository with just the platform coverage you need. 

Example:

pucl copy  com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v80 -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v80 -target -platform os=linux,arch=ppc -acceptLicense -prompt

This will create a repository for install to the latest Fix Pack level of IHS (8.0.0.2) on linux ppc systems.  Even though the repository is for linux, you can create this on any Packaging Utility supported platform, including Windows.

The supported architecture values for linux are ppc and x86 and you will get 32-bit + 64-bit content.
