I haven't tried downloading them, but I'm pretty sure there's a full
copy of 7.5.3 there. It's 19 floppy images, and that sounds about
right for the real build. I have it on CD so I didn't need them.

Here's the first one:

http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Version_7.5.3/System_7.5.3_01of19.smi.bin

You'll also want to grab the update to 7.5.5 while you're there. It's only
three floppy images.

I'll admit it's hard to find anything on that page.
