It will create a tdb file out of several .img files, in fact you can put
any mixture of .osm or .img files on the one command line and it will first
create the .img files from the .osm files and then create the .tdb file
and then the gmapsupp.img file if you asked for it.

It doesn't however split a gmapsupp.img into the individual files that
created it.  It would be possible to do that using the code in the imgfmt
package quite easily.  The gmapsupp is just like an archive that contains
many files.  Each file has a name that is 8 characters (usually digits) and
a three letter extension.  All you have to do is extract those sub-files,
collect together files that share the same numeric base name and for each
set of files write them to a new .img file.
