I had a similar situation where my database is huge and I just want to be able to generate entity classes for a group of tables. Unfortunately, you'll have to deal with a lot of things if you want to manipulate the EDMX file in XML language. Otherwise, you could customize the .tt files to skip generating classes for certain names.

Entity Interface Generator https://entityinterfacegenerator.codeplex.com

Version 1.2 of this project contains customized T4 templates which can conditionally generate interfaces for entity classes and interfaces matching by regular expressions.

You can learn to do similar name matching by comparing the customized .tt files with the original from Microsoft.
