Here are two options (one T5-based, one T25-based), both designed for roughly 7 hours for up to 80 players with re-buys, using either 125 or 150 BB stacks with relaxed 30% average blind increases and 15-minute levels.
For a tournament that size, I'd recommend paying everybody at the 10-player final table (top 17% with 60 players, top 12.5% with 80 players) Payouts could look like this (% of total prize pool):
1 - 35.00%
2 - 20.00%
3 - 11.25%
4 - 8.75%
5 - 6.25%
6 - 6.25%
7 - 3.75%
8 - 3.75%
9 - 2.50%
10 - 2.50%
For 80 total entries (including re-buys), 2.5% (9th or 10th) would be twice the buy-in amount.
