We played with a bit. We inherited hundreds of mapping documents in our own crazy custom format. We imported the mapping data as extended attributes on the columns and then wrote another script to generate the maps from that data. That gave us a lot more control over how the mappings were generated and allowed us to compensate for some issues with the data in the spreadsheets. It ended up being faster than trying to modify the format of all the spreadsheets into something more acceptable. Unless your mapping documents are pretty clean that may end up being easier in the long run.
