If the machines are relatively recent Windows 10 versions you can look at new technologies built into Windows like Delivery Optimization.  In this way, the computers would be all be configured the same in terms of Office but you would group the Windows 10 machines so they would share content "peer-to-peer".  So maybe one machine downloads from CDN by subnet and others share that kind of thing.

     

    If you don't think that's an option, you could DFS-N\DFS-R to have a common namespace like \\Office365\SAC and the clients would then be referred to a local file server to obtain content.  This would greatly simplify effort in not having to maintain 70 different GPO's by site. (If I recall these configurations were stored in AD in terms of sites)
