Yes. You can modify them in pre as well.

I'd put them all in, then do skip_template() for the ones you don't want
to render, e.g., if you are using tempita, in the csv file:
{{py:
if generate_file == 'txt':
raise SkipTemplate
}}

Put them where you want them to go, right?

Is there something in the layout that makes the default copydir setup
not work? Well... if there are a variable number of files, then you'll
need to do something yourself. You can use self.ensure_file(filename,
content), and calculate the content manually by loading and filling the
template.

The skip template stuff is the best way, otherwise you'd use pre or post.
