The Mersenne Twister can accommodate a very large seed. If you use all the digits of the seed then you should be able to match a sequence of several thousand rolls.

But then you've lost all transparency. If you don't care about transparency and somehow have access to a long enough sequence of random numbers to fill the seed, why even use an RNG?
