First thing I would do is include whatever you need inside the snap itself, and get things working quickly.
Then, there are a few different ways you can move from there. The first one is actually to do nothing.. the whole snap infrastructure (snapcraft, snapd, uploads, downloads) is becoming delta-aware right now, which means even if the total size is 100MB, you'll generally be dealing with only a few megs. Another option, once you're unhappy with that, is using a content interface which allows sharing data across your snaps. This is a bit more complex, so I wouldn't bother unless there are benefits you're looking for, other than just size.
