In principle you could do that. But you don't need that option, because if the 
installation data is not included in the installer you could build it once and 
change only the data.

The user has to download several files though and you will need some error 
checking to see that all needed files are present and that they are from the 
same map (especially for updates). IMHO the nice thing about NSIS is that the 
users needs only one file for download.

Another approach would be to split your map of Europe into several parts, say 
northern Europe and southern Europe. If you run the splitter on the whole of 
Europe and select the tiles that go into each part for mkgmap, the parts should 
fit perfectly and routing should work as well. This will also reduce the 
download volume for users that are interested only in some part of Europe.
