See below. 

As VladimirVolowich described, that is what I did with the Chinese TTF font I started with. 

But I also created a 'level-1' OPL file to go with it. The metrics in 
there, defined for the whole unicode font are applied by OMEGA. 

This allows 'font-wide' kerning, ligatures to be defined once for the 
whole font, even though it has been broken down into subfonts.

Cheers

My message was an answer to the message posted by Vladimir 
Volowich, who proposed the following sequence:

a) We create a set of TFM files, each of them refers to a subset
of "big" ttf or pfb file. Of course, each TFM file contains kerning
information only for glyphs it includes.

b) We join glyphs from these subsets to a Unicode virtual font
having the OVF extension. Such a font needs also a corresponding
metric file (with OFM extension). As you can see,  only kerning
information already present in the TFM files may be preserved,
of course, unless we want to edit the source OVP file manually.

That's why I said this method doesn't look very good and logical.
However, this is the only working method to install Unicode ttf or pfb
fonts for Omega *right now*.
