ie. can BigTIFF be used for files that are smaller than 4GB due to the compression?

Yes, bigtiff works fine for small files too. The only drawback with bigtiff is patchy support.

Even programs which claim to support it will often fall over. I believe irfanview64 (for example) struggles over about 60k x 60k pixels.
