Here is why you still need them:
The higher level tables will assume that they exist.  So if you have KNNkp and a
knight gets captured, the next searches will be KNkp.  If you have any tablebase
file with pawns, you also need the tablebase files that are underneath of it.

One more thing you need:
Eugene's permission to use it.  I think it will be free for non-commercial use.
