Dual with Insert into select from

I have a huge table in a database and need various columns in it to populate other "sub-tables". However these tables don't just have values from the master table, they have an id column that I need to pull in from dual, and date columns. Can I mix up these kind of insert functions? Should I populate the columns coming from the master table and then update the id and date columns?

Thanks for any help.
