I am no expert but I've done quite a few 200 km rides now. I think you're over the top on spares.
Two tubes
some zip ties
ducktape round a pen
bit of plastic milk carton (with ducktape makes good tyre boot)
puncture repair kit
pen knife
usual allen keys and spanners screwdrive as required.
chain tool + one or two links, not an entire chain.
maybe small pot of oil
sudocream
You'll get colder on a long ride than you will on a short ride due to fatigue, plus if you need to stop for repairs you'll want to be warm while you fettle.
Take food but buy along the way to save weight. Have stash of emergency food like a mars bar / dried fruit.
