I edited a merged board once, made two copies, and trimmed each down.
During editing, I edit only the two source boards, and merge/view them
to make sure it's making sense.  I've never really edited the merged
board, other than to try a few things before migrating those changes
to the originals.  Mostly I look at the merged board but edit the
templates.

I did have an idea of how much space each channel could use, though,
based on some fiddling with the adapter board I had already done.

A heirarchical PCB layout would do it too, but it's not even on my
horizon.
