This is a sub-optimal solution IMHO.  There will always be cases where
a script is split into multiple Unicode blocks, probably mapped to
different fonts.  AFAICS, the Tamil supplement characters don't
interact typographically with normal Tamil characters, so a two-font
solution in this case is valid.  In case my assumption is invalid you
should submit a bug to the Noto project :-)
