I could go out on a limb and guess maybe 20 to 30MB, but I really can't say. There are a lot variables to answer this: most common connection speed of your audience, sophistication of your audience's systems, and perhaps one large item is the organization of your media. Maybe it lends itself to getting split into 70 parts. On the other hand, maybe you guys don't want to manage 70 movie clips. As you allude to above, you could look at splitting your content into "reasonable" segments, along lines of chapters/topics/concepts/whatever makes sense. Maybe "large" chapters get split into 2 parts, with an auto-download occurring after playback of part 1 has completed. The bottom line is, you want to address the 100MB playback issue -- segmenting your content might be a solution.
