I don’t see this. Why assume that the non-contingent, pre-existing God is particularly complex. Why not assume that the current complexity of God (if He actually is complex) developed over time as the universe evolved since the big bang. Or, just as good, assume that God became complex before He created this universe.
It is not as if we know enough about God to actually start writing down that presumptive long bit string. And, after all, we don’t ask the big bang to explain the coastline of Great Britain.

If we do that, should we even call that “less complex earlier version of God” God? Would it deserve the title?
Sure, why not? I refer to the earlier, less complex version of Michael Jackson as “Michael Jackson”.
