Actually that shouldn't be a problem. common/expansion/lichking rarely (if ever?) have collisions as the latter ones are split off common to avoid having expansion-less players with a huge amount of data to download/install.

IIRC, merged mode was useful for the old (currently live) way of handling patches: patch-1.mpq, patch-2.mpq, so on.
