Yeesh, it's been a while for me, I don't remember what the ksrc segment
filenames look like, but I'll take a guess, they probably looklike
ksrc1 ksrc2 etc or maybe they looklike ksrca ksrcb ksrcc ... any
way the concept is the same, you want to create one file whose
contents is the concatenation of the contents of the little
segments.  Did I give it away?  use the cat command and shell redirection
ie:
cat ksrc* > ksrc.tar.gz
I am even pretty sure that the shell wildcard * will be expanded 
in lexographic order (which is what you want.)(list them by hand
if they aren't expanded right
