If you choose to make it a separate file and name it something .dat you should be ok most of the time.
Only possible problem is when a generated part has subparts that .dat would technically be a mpd (this is mandated by LDCad's generator).
Interesting…how would that be different from a regular .dat file that references primitives and subparts?

That said, I'm planning to make some improvements to the mpd split/joint tools for the 1.7 version.
I'll add an extra option to split generated content (with a warning about loosing the original paramters etc) to that version.
Yeah, I suppose technically I don't need to remove the metas, but for some reason it feels like a "cleaner" part file without them. Also, it removes the risk of the mesh being regenerated accidentally if I open the .dat file in LDCad…
