You could put them into an archive (eg tar) and check that in.  Then
your build system would be in charge of unpacking the archive into its
constituent files when necessary.  I'm guessing that the files are not
hand-editable anyway.

But if the files are themselves generated by some tool from another
file, it's that original source file that should go into CVS, not the
generated files.
