Should we try to search for the missing 15%? (I assume you tried all
dates for the missing files?)

As the archives anyway only contains files, not disk images, it might
be better with a few xip files containing the prg (and seq e.t.c.)
files, maybe split up onto one A.ZIP for the A files e.t.c.

Then it's up to each user to use for example DirMaster to generate the
wanted images, i.e. d64, d80, d82 and whichever drives that specific
user has.

(I don't know which drives are more or less common, but I assume that
the 80-track and sometimes double sided drives are not that uncommon.
Also there are those modern disk emulator things that probably can
contain far more files, and the lucky few that have Commodores hard
drives for PET).

But if all disks fit nicely to the d64 size, it might be a good idea
anyway.
