Yes, do the bonded interaction from a single chain in vacuum using
simple Boltzmann inversion and the non-bonded for e.g a melt
simulation using iterative Boltzmann inversion.
But I would really recommend you read section 2.2.1 of the manual
(https://github.com/votca/csg-manual/releases/download/v1.3_rc1/votca-csg-manual-1.3_rc1.pdf)
and the references therein especially

W Tschöp, K Kremer, J Batoulis, T Burger, and O Hahn. Simulation of
polymer melts. i.
coarse-graining procedure for polycarbonates. Acta Polymerica, 49:61–74, 1998.

nexcl is not exactly the same as an exclusions list. In a single chain
in vacuum simulation you want to exclude all interaction, which are
later covered by non-bonded interactions.
(see section 2.2.1 for the details)
