Radio tests on one combination of A+B is approximate $10.000. So doing
a reasonable number of combinations will be very costly. And we can run
into problems that is caused by Item B's, which are made from other
manufacturers ...
You have quoted several old messages unnecessarily, but you seem to have
missed the most important one. Anthony Thomson wrote:

However… I guess it's entirely possible that any meaningful assessment
against the R&TTED may not be possible on the separate components
assuming both are required to implement the ‘radio’. In this case,
the Commission's 2009 guide offers some very helpful advice: “Where a
radio system is integrated on site — as in the case of microwave
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems — the system
integrators responsible for ensuring compliance of the system with the
Directive when the system is brought into service.”
So my opinion would be that each component of the system falls under the
R&TTED and it is the system integrator's responsibility for compliance.

This means that manufacturer A need only ensure that product A meets the
relevant requirements. Responsibility for making sure that combinations
of A with B1, B2, B3... rests with the 'system integrators' who put the
products to work together.
