You could generate a random height-grid, to represent the broken side of
the neo-part.  Use that information as a mesh, and convert it to LDraw
code.

Since it would be a random function, wouldn't you need to generate the mesh
each time the element is used?  Seems like a lot of work for one part, but
how would you interface with LDraw?  Ohh, I see since you use the same part
no each time dump to that file, but what about if you use several of the
neo-parts in a session how would that work?  Seeing as each time you changed
the content of the part file it would change for all of that part in all
models using it.  Multifiles?  seems like a lot of work for just one element
;-}.

Just generate the mesh once.  The part-file would be static, with one
rough/broken side.

It's still a lot of work for just one element -- it'd be easier to take
the existing part-file, and just break it in half.
