What I understand about the rules is that you must give the full source used, to precompute and generate the output. So, if you have a precomputing code that dumps the values to a file and your output generator uses the values directly from the file (not inside the code). You should be fine, as long as you provide both codes.
So you should provide everything that is needed to compute the output, even if it's trickier than just running one program. So instead of a comment saying you have more, just provide the code that generates the whole thing.
