I’m sorry I don’t quite understand this. If you want multiple files, why not just send out multiple packets?
I don’t think merging Interests is a good idea because it will make the Content Store useless.

If you still want to put multiple file names into a single Interest, one thing you can do is pack them all into a GenericNameComponent.
You need to write Consumer/Producer app yourself to do so. Please refer to /ndnSIM/apps/ndn-consumer.cpp & ndn-producer.cpp.
