Sounds similar to what I'd planned with the Plug III although I was going to use the Luxos (now I'm not sure) and a SON dyanamo.
I have an Anker 6400mah battery which is the size of an old Nokia feature phone I guess - how big is that 16000mah battery? Must weigh half a kilo! :)
Who gives you the 40% off Supernova stuff? Did you buy it direct from them?

@hippy For the front light I got a Supernova E3 Pro Triple because it's good and I got 40% off as a TCR racer (they'd probably give it to you too). I'm going to supplement it with a cheap AA battery front light to use as a reserve if the dynamo fails or if I need to charge my phone/garmin instead and to use in the early evening when the Supernova would be overkill.
Back light I've just stuck with an Exposure TraceR which should last through night if I do an all-nighter but once again I'm gonna have a back-up - probably the same cat-eye one I used last year which lasted the entire time with no battery change and I did a fair amount of night riding.
For the dynamo I chose the SP-9 series. I'm not entirely sure why and I didn't do too much research into the others but I thought it was reasonably priced and was quite small.
For the charging I've got the Supernova Plug III, once again, because of the discount I received. It's probably not the best but it certainly it is the nicest design. As a back-up I'm going to take the Anker Astro E5 (at least I think that's the model I have) which has 16,000mAh which, if the dynamo failed, would keep me independent of power for about 2 days.
