I don't think they are incorrect but most of them are redundant.
I suppose there should be one a 'base' map with alphabet-independed keysyms
(modifier keys, function keys, keypad, etc.) which variant depends on
model (pc101, pc104, etc.). And most of modifier_map instructions can be
placed there. Some portion of modifier_maps can be in files added by
XkbOptions. It seems to me modifier_maps should never appear in
'partial layout' files.

There is not.
Just a lot of work for editing lot of files. :-)
