Make a grid with the situations down the left hand side and the coverage's along the top, then start filling things in, I'd say keep it to three or under in each category. Some plays will probably fit in more than one category.
Once your done with that go start a playbook and choose only those plays in the formations that have the most of them.
Running Game:
I'm running from the spread this year so I like to build in running plays where I already have a constraint play in my passing game, anything more than that is overkill. Throw in play-action off your top running plays and screens.
You've now built a complete offense.
