The W54 device was "10.75 inches diameter (270 mm), about 15.7 inches long (400 mm), and weighs around or slightly over 50 pounds (23 kg)".

A fit man can carry a 50 pound backpack a long distance.

Back in the late 60s, the multiple nuclear warheads atop a Polaris or Poseidan missile were each about the size of a basketball. Depending upon the version of the missile, that could be 3 warheads or 10. “Suitcase” size warheads were certainly doable even then.
