Be careful what you wish for. Wouldn't this make building ringworlds and sphereworlds easier?
Seriously, I think the whole reason we can't combine the output of multiple shipyards (unmodded game) is because the game designer's concept of shipbuilding didn't consider modular components that could be built at multiple yards. But, since I'm not a mindreader, this is just a guess.
