Depends on what you mean by "object".  You can put a bunch of objects 
into a group object, but that doesn't really buy you anything compared 
to submitting the objects individually.   What does help is if you can 
go down to the TriMesh level and combine some.  In order to be able to 
merge TriMesh objects, they would need to have the same overall 
attributes (color, texture, etc.).
