You'll have to resample (--resample 11025) - see if q 0 gives small
enough filesizes, otherwise try if q -1 sounds good enough for you. I'm
not familiar on how good RealAudio G2 sounds at those bitrates, but I
find the following examples "acceptable":

oggenc -q 0 --resample 11025 input.wav
oggenc -q -1 --resample 11025 input.wav

Alternatively, you could try mono, too:

oggenc -q 0 --resample 22050 --downmix input.wav
oggenc -q -1 --resample 22050 --downmix input.wav

P.S.: q-values don't have to be whole numbers, e.g. -q -0.5731 works,
too.
