I see. But there is one problem - aggregator is used to aggregate not only files,
but cocoon: protocol, http: protocol, file: protocol... So - AFAIU - it's really not
in concern
of aggregator to construct somehow list of aggregated resources (files in your case).

I meant your own Generator which you started to write :)
But - hopefully - we have other solution: X/Cinclude mechanism
which is perfectly suitable in this case:
<map:match pattern="documents_pdf/documentation.pdf">
<map:generate type="directory" src="docs/xdocs"/>
<map:transform src="filter-xml-files.xsl"/>
<map:transform src="xml-file-to-xinclude.xsl"/>
<map:transform type="xinclude"/>
<!-- here you have all xdocs in one stream -->
....
</map:match>
This should solve your problem.
Good luck with PDF!
