There is nothing in Magpie that does this-- you are in the code your own 
way territory. Magpie does one thing (very well)- fetches a single RSS 
feed and parses it into arrays so you can do things with it.

That said, the easiest way to achieve some of this is to use a third 
party service that allows you to "mix" multiple RSS feeds into one 
collection, which than itself is re-syndicated as a new RSS feed (which 
you can then parse with Magpie). I explored as many of these as I could 
find:

http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/cdb/2005/10/12/rss-mixers/

But if you really want to manipulate data, you may need to code your 
own-- you may take a look at the Feed on Feeds code:
http://feedonfeeds.com/

or Planet Planet:
