You could modify the code for r.patch, but there is also a limit on how
many files may be open at a time in GRASS, something like 27. Your best
bet is simply to right a basic shell script that loops through r.patch,
creating temporary patched files from 10 layers at a time, and then
patching those together. Not a big deal. If you plan on doing much work
in GRASS, you'll want to learn how to do this anyway.
