Perhaps I'm just tired, but I don't see any question here to answer.  :(

If the unasked question was "can I do this?" the answer is "yes, but."
Yes, you can do that, but it's not supported and we don't guarantee
that you'll be able to do so in the future.  Nor we guarantee that
your resulting data file with actually work.

On the other hand, once Neil finishes his BookMerge code you'll be
able to create an XML file with the objects you want to add into your
gnucash data file and just merge them in.
