You could try batch processing the VSCO 2 samples with reverb and an EQ and probably a stereo width change (Mattias, if I remember correctly, you favor mono/thin woodwinds?).
Don't forget about that harpsichord I sampled just for you. You don't want me to make Bigcat take it!
I would recommend avoiding combining instruments unless a section is desired- the CE sample set is now mostly un-phaselocked so it will sound like a different instrument when combined with other instruments.
One thing we did have success with in VSCO 2 was combining a staccato and sustain from the same instrument (in our case, mapping the staccato to key velocity (with a low key velocity instead increasing sample attack slightly) and the sustain to modwheel, so the two may be used separately to create accents or the lack thereof as needed). While I doubt that approach is within the perview of what you are doing, something like it may be used to create accented notes (like Paul worked towards in VPO).
