I see around 150-200ps skew which I tried to tune a bit with wires and 0R
resistors - without very much success.. any ideas for improving this - or
just leave it at 200ps skew?

I don't have the numbers handy, but that's ballpark of an inch of trace on a
PCB.

Outer layers are slightly faster than inner layers.  Details depend on the
materials.  Solder mask slows down the outer layer slightly and things like
that.
