Of course that won't work. The signature file won't match the contents of 
the DVD!

Try booting the installer with 'debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true' 
as documented in [1]. This "skips" the authentication check for which the
.gpg file is used.

You still won't be able to use more that a single DVD during the 
installation though. You cannot magically "merge" them.
