The mast to ground rod length is not a problem. But avoid sharp bends.
the AP8700 is spec'd at 19 dB gain (UHF). 200' of RG-6 will have about 12 dB loss (max). You have some gain left to drive a splitter and some more coax. Try this with no distribution amp... If needed, it's easy to insert it into the system just before the splitter. If you prove the need, the CM-3410 would be my recommendation.
