Simply Importing all the Secret Keys into Your 'Main' Keyring should do
the trick.  They will then be in the same place but listed separately.
It may be necessary to then designate one of the Secret Keys as the
'Default' Keypair so that gpg.exe will know which Secret Key to
automatically choose.

The Secret Keys that are maintained separately will also remain in the
locations that they are in at present.
