is it wise to slipstream patches with the orginal cd

No, it will break the original CD.

Best to create an Admin install point (AIP) by running setup.exe /a then
slipstream the patches
OR
Leave the original CD intact, and push out client side patches (Optimized or
full file)

You did not mention if this is Office 2003 or Office XP. Either way, see

Yes and here is the reason. If you need to do a repair install of XP and you
attempt to use a "previous" version of the software, the repair install will
fail as you are attempting to install an older version of the software on
top of a newer version. You would have to uninstall the newer SPs (back to
the CD you are using for the repair install) and this may not be possible
with a "crashed" OS.

Don't throw away the original CD though.
