I think it's a good idea to package ibus-handwrite and zinnia-tomoe separately.
It has several advantages: 
1.ibus-handwrite and zinnia-tomoe have different upstreams, according to the
package guideline fedora packages should make every effort to avoid having
multiple, separate, upstream projects bundled together in a single package.
2. People using x86_64 PC normally install both i686 and x86_64 ibus to adapt
to some legacy x32 programs. The model files are rather big files and also arch
independent, if we include them in ibus-handwrite, people should download them
twice.
3.Other program also use those model files, such as tegaki
4.Packaging zinnia-tomoe is rather a simple thing.

So I recommand you to package ibus-handwrite and zinnia-tomoe separately, then
create symlinks from model files to data dir. I'll review zinnia-tomoe for you.
