Here is an (untested) idea:

create a new recording directory:
   mkdir /video/vhscopy/2002-03-03.03:03.99.99.rec

link existing 00n.vdr files into it:
   cd /video/vhscopy/2002-03-03.03:03.99.99.rec
   ln -s /video/MacGyver/2002-03-01.03:03.99.99.rec/001.vdr 001.vdr
   ln -s /video/MacGyver/2002-03-02.03:03.99.99.rec/001.vdr 002.vdr
   ln -s /video/MacGyver/2002-03-03.03:03.99.99.rec/001.vdr 003.vdr

create a new index for all this using Werners nice new genindex tool:
   genindex


Let me know if this works.
