How to configure the dhclient.conf to let it eventually accept an OFFER even if no OFFERs satisfy the requirements?

What do you mean by private option? Do you mean rfc2132 option tags?

If I understand you correctly you should limit the "request" list to
the absolute minimum. I.e. on my debian the list is following:
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search,
        netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
        rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
you may change this into:
 request subnet-mask, broadcast-address,routers;
