Why do you want to merge all your custom files into one recipe? With
them separated into the packages they affect you can add/remove
packages a lot easier in the future.

The only thing I can think of is to use bbappends to prevent the
original files from installing but not to add the replacement files.
Then have a single recipe which packages all the replacement files.
That way only one package provides each file.
