This is called the 'network install'. All the program binaries and needed
data files (the 130MB stuff) is all stored in /usr/local/StarOffice (or
wherever you installed StarOffice as root), and only the per-user config
files are stored in their home directories.
Each user 'only' takes up a couple megabytes in their home directory for
configuration files ('only' could get huge if there are a large number of
users).
