RSUs are not cumulative.  I would look at doing one of the following:

You could research the PTFs and see which ones you want - selective maintenance

Or you can apply all RSUs that will go on with your apply.  Remember to keep 
your HOLDDATA current.

Always backup your SMPE environment before doing any SMPE Work
Always run multiple APPLY CHECKs so that you are familiar with what will be 
installed.

SMP/E is more of an art than a process.  The tool will install the PTFs, but it 
is up to your shops standards or procedures as to how that is done.
