Chulip (PS2) face numbering

[mecha_yodzilla]

I've recently been trying to get the 3d models from the game Chulip, and I've been able to find the vertex information pretty easily. However, I can't seem to connect the faces to the vertices. The faces seem to use a single byte to identify the vertices, but in many of the models, there are more than 255 vertices. Additionally, each number in the face definitions is followed by an increasing number which, if included in the number, would extend past the number of vertices any of the models have. Attached are examples for both the vertices and the faces. If anyone would be able to give me any insights it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I found many PS2 games uses vertex to auto generate faces. Id have to look more into your samples. But most PS2 games I've done use this game technique.

If you auto-generate them as triangles, it looks like this:
