No, it's not too much, and you already have something a tiny bit better, I'd say, than what you asked for. In any library, you can use, in the Components window in the Panel, Ctrl-leftclick to accumulatively select/unselect parts, or you can select them all (or some sequential subset) by left-clicking on the first one and then shift-leftclick on the last. With whatever you want to copy selected, rt.-click in the component window and select Copy. Then go to the new library, left-click in the component panel window so that it is active, then rt.-click and select Paste. All parts will be copied, and any duplicated part names will be given an extension, the first extension given will be _1. You can then go over all the duplicates and determine which ones you want to keep.
