1. Put the PDFs in a zip file. You may need to temporarily disable Preferences > Plugins > Archive Extract.

2. If the PDFs aren't DRM'd, you can use something like [url=https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk[/url] to merge them into one big file.
Actually, it is possible. Convert all of them to ePub and use the EpubMerge plugin to merge them into one eBook. But there will be errors because of the PDF to ePub conversion and they should be fixed.

My solution is that if this book is available in ePub, get it from Overdrive (if possible) or buy it. The work needed to convert it to a single ePub is not worth my time/effort.
