I'm not sure what you are trying here but I think there might be a major misunderstanding of what a stl2dat can do.
It will generate a single dat file with the whole object in it as a single part, nothing lego like about that. What you want though (I think) is something that 'Legoizes' the object in terms of bricks. This is by far more complex then just running it through a mesh converter. Even if you limit the number of useable bricks (e.g only 2x4 and 2x2, etc) it comes down to processing huge amounts of possibilities.
As for the alpha value, mlcad only does binary transparency I believe, so you wouldn't see the difference between 64 and 128.
