I've done that sort of thing before, certainly, but this one project is
more involved - some instruments that did not play in whole sections of
the old version of the work do in the new version, etc. (So dynamic
linking would change the layout, too, in those parts, but in the others
it wouldn't.) The cut-and-paste method can be risky, (i.e. one can miss
things) and probably slower than re-extracting in this case.
