Unfortunately, up here in Canada, we cannot specify denominations when we order pesos from the TD bank. Large bills are primarily what the banks receive, and therefore hand out. Last year I received mostly 1000 and 500 peso bills, but was lucky to be able to trade for some smaller denominations after a lot of 'pleading'!
As a work around, perhaps make several smaller orders of pesos that do not end in 100, 500 or 1000 pesos multiples. Have each order end in 90 pesos to get a variety of denominations. It may drive the bank teller nuts, but you will get a large package to carry with the variety of bills you desire! Perhaps that will help!
Otherwise, make some exchanges of large for small denominations at the bank in Melaque, after arrival.
