In which case I'd check the day of the week first and have a separate
section of code for the *major* conditions. Sounds like you might have
several different such sections, maybe 7 or 8.

Then you build your image to be printed (different depending on the
date) just once, and you print the same image 200,000 times. You might
have a different function (that you call once) to build the image. It's
not actually necessary to have these functions but it makes the code
more modular and easier to understand. I could imagine that each of
these functions might be quite big, but there will be separate sections
of code that can also be put into functions that will reduce the
overall size.

If you have a clear idea in your head of the process then you can
design the structure more easily and break the problem down into
smaller parts.
