I would remove TARGETDIR from the Fragment and change MergeRedirectFolder to a DirectoryRef. Might even call "MergeRedirectFolder" something more like "ThePurposeOfThisFragmentFolder". That ends up being a reference to a folder that the .wixlib will need the "parent project" (MSI or Merge Module) to define. The linker will remind you if you forget.
Then, wrap the Components in your Fragment with a ComponentGroup so you can easily refer to them all. Finally, define your Directory tree in your Product and/or Module then add a ComponentGroupRef under the appropriate Product/Feature and/or just under the Module itself. The linker starts at the Product or Module element and resolves references down from there. The ComponentGroupRef will reference the stuff in your .wixlib and pull that fragment in. The .wixlib will then reference it's required Directory elements that should be resolved back in the Product or Module or another fragment if you choose.
