Merging adjacent maps

I intend to break my world up into regions. Each region having a heightmap associated with it. Assuming that I use mapsplitter to split the heightmaps associated with each region can I merge regions seamlessly together within my application?

I'm thinking one way to do this would be to simply renumber the pages associated with each region to create a super region.

For example if I have two regions (side-by-side) and each region is 4 pages in height and 3 pages in width, then I'm thinking I can renumber pages and create a single pageable region that is 4 pages in height and 6 pages in width.

Conceptually this seems straightforward, but perhaps it is not necessary. How do people typically attack this?

If you splitted world into regions using the mapsplitter scheme. (last heightmap pixel border should be the same on neigbour region)

I'm thinking ... to create a super region. How do people typically attack this?
Why not using Paging that comes with plsm2 ?
