Lisp knowledge I have, time to understand the rather impressive Tramp

The problem with this is that I'll need a separate env var for each
remote machine... (The only substitutable parameters in my example
were 'foo.bar' and '/path/to/file'. Of course everyone else probably
wants a different set.)

I may have to live with multiple env vars. I took a quick look through
the Tramp sources before my first message and it did look like a new
mechanism (can you say macros?) is required. I may look again if any
copious spare time comes up :-)
