I've run into this problem too.
While I don't have an explicit solution to "combine custom meters in another custom meter", you can always add multiple meters under the same custom meter like so:
Meter:Custom,
ResidentialElectric,
Electricity,
ResZone-1,
Zone Lights Electric Energy,
ResZone-1,
Zone Electric Equipment Electric Energy,
CoilHtg_ResZone-1,
Heating Coil Electric Energy,
ResZone-2,
Zone Lights Electric Energy,
ResZone-2,
Zone Electric Equipment Electric Energy,
CoilHtg_ResZone-2,
Heating Coil Electric Energy;
I've written an OpenStudio Eplus measure to take in a .csv that defines the custom meters and makes meter:custom and output:meter from them.
