Good to know, I'll try to follow up on this.

Without having tried it. If - as it seems - osmosis takes the first map for the 
bounding box, one could create a dummy empty map with a spanning, large enough 
bounding box as the first one and merge it with the other ones.

Any more thoughts on this coming back in the meantime?
