You're assuming that the difficulties your students are facing are due to the differences between Vim versions 7.0.109 and 7.2.x. The difficulties may instead be due to differences between the way Red Hat and Canonical build and configure their Vim packages. They may even be due to some other difference between their Red Hat and Ubuntu environments. Since any solution is going to require some effort, I think it would be a much better idea to identify the difficulties they're having and describe them here so that we can find proper solutions. Your students will be able to run a more up-to-date version of Vim that is supported on their chosen distribution, and they may learn something about problem-solving to boot.
