 How do I merge a vmekrnel dump split into 4000 parts?

hi
I have a PSOD in vSphere and after extracting the system logs, I checked the Core dump and found that the file in the format of vmkernel-zdump.1.frag* is split into more than 4000 files as shown in the attached capture. 

We opened a case in SR, but we were asked to make these files readable, convert them and deliver them, and tried to merge them through the 'esxcfg-dumppart' command, but we are having difficulty merging them due to the large number of fragment files. 

If anyone has resolved these issues, I would be grateful if you could share.

Regards
