Well: you can create your own tvb using tvb_new_real_data() pointing to 
a buffer you've created containing the data you've copied from the two 
tvb's.

That being said, the composite TVB code should work.  (I fixed the code 
some time ago and the code is part 1.8).

(I think composite TVbs are even being used someplace in 1.80).

What problems did you have using a composite TVB ?

Providing the essentials of code you used would help us to see what's 
happening.

Also, see epan/tvbtest.c for an example of code which creates composite 
tvb's.

(Ignore the comment about "Composite tvbuffs don't work at the 
moment...". AFAIK composite TVBs should work. I apparently forgot to 
remove the comment when I did the work a while back).
