I programmed a bunch of Satellite freqs in with the free Icom programming software a long time ago. I don’t recall trying a custom offset, but it would be worth a try to check it out and see if it can do what you are looking for. The software download is at:

Wayne,
This video walks you through it. Just tried it on mine and worked like a charm saving to memory. All programmed from the radio face.

That video merely shows how to set up a custom repeater offset in VFO mode. The video doesn't even attempt to show how to save the custom repeater offset to a channel memory.
The instructions on page 25 of the basic manual are the same, showing how to set up a custom offset in VFO mode, but not how to save it in a channel memory.
I'm convinced that it's impossible to store a custom repeater offset in an IC-9700 channel memory.
