Have a look at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52103 This gives some ideas on installing a custom dictionary. The "collected' dictionaries or the ones added by the Dictionary import macro have a maximum size (as I recall) of 2500 words, which is much too small for you. Let me know if you need any further enlightenment on the method in the bug report.
