Thank you, Arthur : much appreciated. I note (with regret) that
the current source (a Microsoft Excel document) contains no

Since you'll be using XeTeX, you can take advantage of the fact that
the two languages you'll be working with use disjoint character sets,
and make the language switch automatic using XeTeX's inter-character
token mechanism.
Or you could cheat by loading both the English and Greek patterns into
the same TeX \language; as they are dealing with separate parts of the
Unicode character space, they won't interfere with each other. Then both
English and Greek will hyphenate correctly with no additional markup or
other effort.
This is of course a limited "hack" that may be suitable for a specific
project where you can create a custom format with the "merged" patterns
you need, and the patterns involved don't overlap; it's not a
general-purpose solution for multilingual hyphenation.
