Having us merge the extension you listed (lets call it  B) with parts of the
other one from our source code (lets call it A) is not a really good idea. The
reason for this is that:

By merging B with parts of A we will technically create a new extension (lets
call it C to which we also have to assign an identifier. Thus later on one of
the following will happen:

1) I we use the a new identifier for C, then there will be no update
notifications for that one even if A or B will get updated in the repository.
In that case the only way to get a new version of the extension will be to
install a newer Office with a newer version of that extension. 

2) If we use the identifier of either A or B, then upon update of those the
installed extension C will be removed and replaced by A or B. Thus the user will
either loose the spell check dictionary from B or the thesaurus and hyphenation
file from A. 

Also A and C can not be installed together since then we will have conflicting
spell check dictionaries and thus at best will get mangled results from the
spell checker.

tl->fyva: Thus correct solutions would be
- decide on a single extension (A or B)
- have the author of A split up his extension in two (A1: spell check dictionary
and A2: thesaurus and hyphenation). The we can include both of the extensions B
and A2 for Ukrainian (and A1 and A2 for Russian), and then everything should be 
fine
- you need to get permission of the author of A to break his extension, extract
thesaurus and hyphenation and the create a new extension C2 (with new
identifier) from those on your own. We could then integrate that and if you or
anyone else later on provide updates for that extension, then the user will get
a proper update as well.
- have me implement 1) from above and go with the implied drawbacks

Please make your choice. 

tl->mh: What is your opinion to solution 1). Would that be acceptable, or should
we refrain from doing this?
