This would still mean losing customizations when a menu item is added, which is more common than adding a toolbar button anyway.

Would still mean losing customization 10 times...?

No, what would be best would be to store additions and removals of buttons into the rc file and use
that when merging. Splitting is only second best. Both solutions require hacking though (although the
latter certainly less so; we could hardcode a kfoo.rc -> kfoo_toolbars.rc logic so that we can still work
with only one XML file in the API ... well ... except where the API gives away a QDomDocument).
