This is very easy to fabricate.

 

Use an OSL array map and dial in the colors you need, then set the faces to the ID's on the mesh.

Trigger it with an index controller calling matID via Material ID OSL map to emission color.

 

This way you need only 1 material and can avoid multi sub material which is not recommended to use.

So thats the front face of the letters that illuminates GI.

 

I setup that in this illustration with the array map in emission.

Used my Triplanar map for diffuse.
