The external assets for a page could be archived separately though, right? I would think that the static G+ assets: JS, CSS, images, etc. could be archived once, and then all the remaining data would be much closer the 120B of real content. Is there a technical reason that's not the case?

Which is a substantial programming overhead. WARC is dumb as rocks, from a redundancy standpoint, but also atomically complete, independent (all WARCs are entirely self-contained), and reliable. When dealing with billions of individual websites, these are useful attributes. It's a matter of trade-offs.
