I once did it by converting 2 smaller msi's to merge modules by capturing the install and then added the merge modules to a capture of a larger MSI.

I know it's possible to do that with snapshooting, but the result is bad. A clean install is better and I didn't like to do by snapshotting

You can also install two of them as prerquisites or install them as nested MSI's. You can add a custom action to install another MSI. It's not recommended and i've done it, it causes a lot of trouble with updates and uninstalls and so.
Procedure for nested MSI
