If so, how?
All of the presets for a given tool are stored in a single file matching the name of the tool, inside the tool-options/ directory. If you want to combine them, you will need to copy+paste between the relevant files. Your idea is interesting, however it's in direct opposition to the way tool-options are stored, afaik. Unless you treat the subdirectory contents as read-only.
