I would expect there to be just a little bit more than 24 possible different
return values from "%z". It would be 24 if all zones where whole hours
different from UTC (or what it is called now). But since some zones uses
half hours it could be more.

However 87 is a surprisingly high figure for me.

You're assuming too much. Countries in the same apparent time zone do
not have to follow the same DST rules, for example.

Yes, I surely am assuming something that is wrong ;-)

Is not "+0200" the offset from the UTC standard time zone (or whatever it is called)? Is there 87 such values?
