Sure you can, provided the combined file size doesn't exceed 512Mb, but the impression I got from your initial post is that you wanted to maintain the set of seven documents through a single document. Do be aware, too, that whichever way you combine the documents, working with the combined one will be slower than working with the separate ones - even if you had them all open at the same time.
