You can:
- take a multi-tile gmapsupp.img
- split it into tiles with wgmaptool
- write a template.args file for mkgmap with all the *.img in it and use any 
family-ID you like
- create a matching TDB and overview map with mkgmap

The overview map will only contain the tiles' boundaries but at least for 
Mapsource this is enough.
