I don't know what you consider elegant, but I usually put them together 
with cat: cat *.vdr > movie.vdr

That should be done before encoding, because mencoder doesn't like 
multiple input files.
You could feed mencoder's standard input during encoding: cat *.vdr | 
mencoder -options -
but that is not recommended because you lose some data from the 
beginning until mencoder
has recognized the stream.
