I did in the case when it was only one pattern, but that was just a

The actual job involves too many include and exclude patterns to use
--include & --exclude, or even --include-from and --exclude-from,
because the patterns are generated on the fly by a script from
values supplied on the script commandline or hardcoded at the top,
I think you're missing the point.
--exclude-from=filename will do the same.
-f ". filename" specifies a rule, and that rule tells rsync to read the
file. --exclude-from=filename tells rsync directly to read the file.
--exclude-from "is related to the --exclude option ... specifies a FILE
that contains exclude patterns"
--exclude "defaults to an exclude rule and does not allow the
full rule-parsing syntax of normal filter rules."
