Is there some sort of best practice for getting these into Calibre under one book listing? I don't need to transfer the files to another device, but just hoping to get my library under control.
Thanks!

I would do this if the PDFs were a single work.

In this context I favour
the calibre:// URL scheme over alternatives such as common-or-garden file:// URLs.

Or use an archive format that the AE plugin doesn't process. It's description claims it handles ZIPs, RARs, CBZs and CBRs; it makes no reference to 7Z, but I have a feeling that may have changed.
