There's probably a better way, but that ought to work reasonably efficiently. You should probably ask yourself why you want to do this though. Unless you're planning to go off-grid for a few years I'd expect you to be better off just using the first Blue-Ray, and ignoring the rest -- the downloads of the few packages that you'll use from the rest will probably never add up to the effort/download of assembling it all onto one disk, and it won't be long before you find yourself downloading more in security updates than the packages from the subsequent Blue-Rays.
