This issue has come up on the dvdauthoring list too. The answer
is the same (actually it is even more true for VCD authoring):
use a single large file and specify the chapter points as time offsets
within that single file.
It's been a while since I've created a VCD with menus, chapter selection
and so on - once you're familiar with the xml used by vcdxbuild
adding chapter entry points is trivial.
Excellent guides to VCD authoring are Michael Tam's

fundamental authoring
basic authoring
advanced authoring

In theory yes, in general no.
Each VCD file looks something like this:
<intro><mpegvideo><ending>
so when you join multiple files together you end up with:
<intro><video><ending><intro><video><ending> ...
ALSO keep in mind that the "clocks"/"times" start over from 0 for
each file.
To join multiple files together the timestamp/clock would have to
be recalculated and the run-in, run-out sequences removed except from
the very beginning and the final ending.
Use a single file and all those problems go away of course.
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
