I tried a "combined" application a year or so ago.  I would not do it
again.  If I were you, I would take my cards to Dayton and get them
checked.  When they get approved at Newington you will get back a printout
of *all* of your credits and the LoTW site will reflect this.  Bring your
log up to date.

Then you can request LoTW credit for the new ones.  I can't comment on the
cost differential in doing this (I'm sure it's more $$) but the lower grief
level is worth the money in my mind.
