You would have to have your app download the assets when it's first run. It would be a security issue if the market included assets from a third party site when downloading an app. The user should know about everything that they're downloading.
Also if you haven't already, try compressing your files. Reduce bitrates on audio files, shrink images or save them using a different format (ie: png instead of bmp). 130mb is a huge app whether that's downloaded all at once or loaded separately. I'm sure you'll get complaints from users if you don't.
