I must consolidate separate chapters into one long document. I have

Yes: it's called Select All! Go to Edit | Select All (or
Ctrl+A). If your cursor is in a table cell, this will select only
the text in that cell; just repeat the action to select the whole
table and repeat it yet again to select the whole document.
In other words, what would be the ideal way to concatenate these
chapters in order not to have any unnecessary page breaks with the
one single documents.
One way is - as you are suggesting - to select the whole text of each
document and copy and paste it into a single document. But here's another:
o Open the first chapter.
o Save it with a new name as the new (long) document.
o Put the cursor at the end of the text, where you want chapter 2 to appear.
o Go to Insert | File... and browse to and insert your chapter 2 document.
o Repeat as necessary.
If you have unwanted page breaks, you can remove them in the normal
way. If they are manual breaks, put the cursor immediately after the
break and press Backspace.
I trust this helps.
