If a (large) value_string array is needed in more than one dissector source
file just have an static instance of the value_string array in one .c file and
then define a public value_string_ext pointer which is referenced as needed.
See packet-bthci_cmd.c (& packet-hci_h4.h) for an example.

It's not automatically added and should be part of the patch.
