Yes, it would be better if the firelogo was a subpart, so it could be
reused.
The main problem with 4209p01 is it is coded poorly. As you said, the
pattern is setup like a sticker. The files should be modified - the
printed area should be moved in line with the main surface, and the main
surface modified so as to not overlap with the pattern.

The subpart should use the same number as one of the parts. So it
should be s\4346p01a.dat or s\4209p01a.dat.

Probably 462.
Since 462 is dithered, and LDraw and LEdit act a bit odd with dithered
colors, you'll need a second subfile for the color-462 areas. :\
Something like s\4346p01b.dat or s\4209p01b.dat.
