You can do it like this, assuming that your small files are named
big-file.001 and you want a big file called big-file.

Copy /b "big-file.001" "big-file" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.002" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.003" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.004" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.005" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.006" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.007" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.008" /y > nul
Copy /b "big-file" + "big-file.009" /y > nul
etc.

Note that you need the /b flag for binary files.

If you do this a lot, you could make a small perl (or whatever) script
to create these commands as a .bat file, and include it with the
files.

You could probably do it like you do in *nix --

   cat big-file.[0-9][0-9][0-9] > big-file

in the bash shell from cygwin.  If you're stuck in Windows, cygwin is
*wonderful* -- I highly recommend it.  http://www.cygwin.com/.
