Can I combine multiple 4TB tib files into a single tib file?

Thread needs solution

So I created a backup today on a drive that's near death, and found out afterward that the backup was split into 5 separate files, all 4GB each.  Did a bit of research and discovered that my problem was from using a flash drive formatted in FAT32.  Makes sense, and I plan to format a spare flash drive for NTFS in the future.

Going forward, I'd hate to have to redo the backup, and don't want to risk spinning up the source disk again.  Is there any way to combine my 5 tib files into one single tib file using ATI 2012, 2013, or 2016?  Print screen of the files is attached.

Note, I found a post by someone with an identical issue in the past, but couldn't copy his steps when I tried myself (features not available in my versions, or I didn't see how): https://forum.acronis.com/forum/64910

There's no combine option that I'm aware of.  2015 changed the GUI completely and some of the previous features were removed and this looks like it may be one of them.  There should be no issue restoring with the split backup files as long as you keep them together in the same folder (and as long as the content that was backed up is in good shape).  Other than asthetics, don't worry about having 4 multiple backup files - I actually limit mine to 4GB in many cases to ensure that I can copy them to different disks that may have FAT32 limitations (such as my home router SMB share requiring a FAT32 formatted drive).
