> A compromise would be :

No. It is not a compromise, it is simply a disaster for everyone except you.
1. People would need to learn to download and install several packages.
Installing one package is already a challenge foe many unexperienced users; the
already existing requirement to install a second package when you want to have
an offline help results in endless flow or "Help me - I'm lost" questions on
the Ask site.
2. People would suffer from bad language support. OK, the UI is something that
one may safely not install; but e.g. hyphenation package (part of dictionary
pack) is essential in *layout* of text written in that language; so missing
hyphenation package would make the documents *look* differently on users'
systems, which is already a problem. And users would never know which language
would be used in a document they receive by email / download tomorrow.
3. TDF would need to develop, build, test, and store hundreds of new packages,
with huge overhead in every part.

Simply NO. The "problems due to the large size of this MSI archive" is not a
realistic thing today. Just invest into your network, or make the deployment
gradual, not all-at-once. Do not put your costs of maintaining your business on
everyone in the world.
