I got in contact to gog support and got the following answer:
Hello there.
Thank you very much for contacting us and at the same time, apologies for such a late reply. Our service is currently receiving a larger than usual amount of user inquiries.
The reason behind the larger than usual amount of space the game needs when being updated, is due to the our systems needing some time to generate the differentiation patches. This happens when a game build is published immediately, without us having the time to prepare the patch for distribution (only the devs we do not have the option to dictate when the patches are released). Before the patch diff patch itself is made available, the client will download the game in it's most recent version which might take more space than the update itself.
A solution to this issue is either to update the game via the standalone offline installation patches, or wait for the patch to generate itself, and then update your copy of the game.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused and if you have any other questions that you would like to ask, then feel free to reply to this e-mail and let me know.
Best regards,

So in my understanding by using galaxy version, there ´ll be a smaller patch soon.
