We have a commercial utility called PageCatcher to do exactly this; and 
there's a free one here:
     http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/

pdftk will work on the finished PDF files, so may be a tad less 
efficient in terms of speed but will certainly stick the pages together.

I'll email some pricing info to you by direct mail in case you like the 
idea of, er, your client supporting ReportLab's code base ;-)
