Two possible solutions come to my mind:

1) you can youse a PDF library, such as iText[1], that can merge PDFs

2) you can merge two or more fo files into one by generating a 
page-sequence for each input file. Each sequence will start on a new 
page, the initial page number can be set using the property 
"initial-page-number".

Maybe XEP provides a solutions for this as well - at least I don't know it.

Peter
