That sounds like two separate source packages then, although you're 
welcome to combine them.  FWIW Fedora's package builds these together 
with the program itself:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/tesseract.git/tree/tesseract.spec

That's not a factor.  All packages must have a source package, so that 
how the binary package(s) are built can be seen and reproduced.

There *is* a SRC_URI: the upstream repo!  If you want to do this 
separately, then something along the lines of:

NAME="tesseract-ocr-langdata"
VERSION=3.04.00
RELEASE=1
CATEGORY="Text"
SUMMARY="training files for tesseract-ocr"
DESCRIPTION="Source training data for Tesseract for lots of languages"
HOMEPAGE=
SRC_URI="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata/archive/${VERSION}/langdata-${VERSION}.tar.gz"
SRC_DIR="langdata-${VERSION}"

ARCH=noarch

PKG_NAMES="tesseract-training-core"
tesseract_training_core_CONTENTS="usr/share/tessdata/training/*.*"
for l in deu:German eng:English fra:French .....
do
   PKG_NAMES+=" tesseract-training-${l%:*}"
   declare tesseract_training_${l%:*}_SUMMARY="${l#*:} ${SUMMARY}"
   declare tesseract_training_${l%:*}_REQUIRES="tesseract-training-core"
   declare 
tesseract_training_${l%:*}_CONTENTS="usr/share/tessdata/training/${l%:*}/"
done

src_compile() { :; }

src_install() {
         dodir /usr/share/tessdata/training
         cp -pr ${S}/* ${D}/usr/share/tessdata/training/
}
