Teressa,
A simple Perl script could automate the process by opening all the files in a directory and writing them or appending them to a master file.
If you wish to use this method please let me know and I will see what I can hack together...

Subject: [NGC4LIB] XML question from a newbie
I'm hoping there's someone out there who's done this before and can
help. I am taking a large number of Dublin Core records and
crosswalking them to MARC so we can include them in our catalog. I have
about 6000 xml files that each contain about 35 records. I've got the
conversion from DC to MARC figured out using an xslt file and MarcEdit
software. What I'd like to do is combine some of the xml files so I
have fewer files to work with each containing more records. Is there
some scripting or some other computer magic that I could use to do that.
I manually copied and pasted a couple of files using notepad++ just as
an experiment. And while that worked it is not really a feasible option
with the number of files I have.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Teressa
