what I would do, and have done on numerous occasions is:
cat CC16E403.A[A-J] > cc16e403.exe

hasn't failed me yet. (I use split on SunOS at the uni, which outputs
.aa, .ab, ...., and this was the easiest I found, so far)

another (completely and solely DOS) solution would be to use:
copy/b cc16e403.aa+cc16e403.ab+...+cc16e403.aj cc16e403.exe
but that get's a little boring to type.(repeat cc16e403.a? at the ...)

greetings,
 Robert.
