Hi,

the freeware and open source libtiff library brings a command-line tool
called "tiffcp", that is intended mainly for this purpose.

 From the website:
tiffcp combines one or more files created according to the Tag Image File 
Format, Revision 6.0 into a single TIFF file. Because the output file may be 
compressed using a different algorithm than the input files, tiffcp is most 
often used to convert between different compression schemes.

http://www.libtiff.org/man/tiffcp.1.html

If you work on Linux, the tool is easily installed and works great for
whole batches of images. On Windows, you would need to look for a
compiled version.

Cheers,

     Mario
