ispell-alternate-dictionary is a defcustom, so you can customized the
value to point to any other file. But it must to be a single file.
Why do you need to use more than one file at once? This file is not
really used as a dictionary, it is used to complete words you type as
replacements, or when you are looking for a word you cannot remember.
It isn't a dictionary used by the speller for finding spelling
mistakes.
