Merge Multiple Events into a Single Event

In Splunk, I have a Delivery Schedule call which lists the date and gives a true or false to see if its available for delivery. Each call takes up 4 lines and there are 200 lines total for each event (50 calls per event). When using a different sourcetype, this call only has 4 lines per event and will list 50 different events. How can I merge all 50 events/calls into 1 event with a linecount=200? Would I have to modify my Props.conf file?

Example:

EVENT 1

<a:DeliveryRange i:type="a:DeliveryDate">
        <a:IsAvailableForDelivery>false</a:IsAvailableForDelivery>
        <a:Date>2015-05-03T01:00:00-04:00</a:Date>
      </a:DeliveryRange>

EVENT 2

<a:DeliveryRange i:type="a:DeliveryDate">
        <a:IsAvailableForDelivery>false</a:IsAvailableForDelivery>
        <a:Date>2015-05-04T01:00:00-04:00</a:Date>
      </a:DeliveryRange>

WHAT I WANT (Merge the events together)

<a:DeliveryRange i:type="a:DeliveryDate">
        <a:IsAvailableForDelivery>false</a:IsAvailableForDelivery>
        <a:Date>2015-05-03T01:00:00-04:00</a:Date>
      </a:DeliveryRange>
<a:DeliveryRange i:type="a:DeliveryDate">
        <a:IsAvailableForDelivery>false</a:IsAvailableForDelivery>
        <a:Date>2015-05-04T01:00:00-04:00</a:Date>
      </a:DeliveryRange>
