Although there's an easy solution in this particular case, I would be
interested in hearing of a more general solution for cases where there
is no such additional tarball available.

I maintain another SlackBuild which has exactly the same problem. My
solution so far has been to locally checkout the commit which
corresponds to the (incomplete) release tarball. Then I pull in the
required submodules and generate a new (complete) tarball which I host
at slackbuildsdirectlinks, from where can be used as a single download
for the SlackBuild.

While that's a workable solution, I would definitely be interested in
alternatives.

That's what I do, too: generate and host a tarball. Generally there's
a git2tarxz.sh script in the directory with the SlackBuild (in SBo
git, so it won't get lost).
