There is a limit in the number of constants in a single source file set

Actually, the limit is per function. So you could do something like this:

T={}
f=function (T)
	-- populate some entries of T
end
f()

f=function (T)
	-- populate some some entries of T
end
f()
...
This and the CSV format are reasonable suggestions. I'll probably do it this way, just so I don't have to write something to transform the CSV format.
BTW, in case anyone is wondering why I'm doing this, its to get the key information out so I can then use it later to fetch data from a "cold" database that doesn't already have the data in cache (its own or the operating systems) so I can get some pessimistic timing data. 

Thanks to Jermoe and Luiz for pointing out the problem and solution.
