Is there a way to join multiple revolved patch surfaces into a single patch?

Trying to create a single surface to split a body with, but the splitting surface(s) are revolved profiles of varying angles, often copies of each other using a circular pattern. 

 

Or should I thicken the patches by a trivial amount (e.g. .001 mm), and combine the results into a single cutting body, instead of splitting?

Try the Stitch command in the Patch workspace.  This will only work, though, if the surfaces are perfectly aligned.  Can you share a model here?

I have attached an example model of what I am trying to do (3x3 twisty puzzle)... you'll see the multiple splits - it'd be nice to do that as one combined split without having to thicken/extrude those surfaces.

 

Here's a pic:
