Is there anyway to combine config.win files from two different config.win files?

Put one in your start directory and one in the load point. If memory serves, your start directory is the last one read, so any conflict will have the one in the start directory winning.

If you are careful, you could edit them with Notepad and cut & paste them together as one. Never done it, but can't see why it would not work.

The code in the config.win isn't nearly as readable as a config.pro. It
may be editable, but it'll be challenging.

Two files can be combined by loading each consecutively, either manually
or using Bill's method, and then saving to a new file. Be careful about
what the 2 files modify, they seem a lot less predictable than
config.pro files. If the two files modify the same toolbar or menu, it
can get a little weird. I had a situation where File A added a drop
down menu, but file B had added a menu in the same place but later
removed it. Even though file B had no menu , the remove in file B took
precedence over the add in file A since B was loaded second.

Considering two config.win files namely config1.win and config2.win, place both the files in the Pro/ENGINEER start-in directory. Start a new Pro/ENGINEER session. Select #Tools, #Customize Screen, #File, #Open Settings, and open config1.win by double clicking on it (do not select #Ok). Again select #File, #Open Settings, and open config2.win by double clicking on it. Make sure that "Automatically save to" at the bottom of the "Customize" dialog box is checked, and that the path/filename is set to start-in\config.win. Select #OK. Restart Pro/ENGINEER to load the new merged config.win file automatically from the start-in directory.
