Could this not be done using the "Include" directive? ssh_config(5) says:

"Files without absolute paths are assumed to be in ~/.ssh if included in 
a user configuration file [...] Include directive may appear inside a 
Match or Host block to perform conditional inclusion."

which suggests:

Host test-host
   Include change_hostname.conf
   Include change_port_and_user.conf
   Include jump_to_mybox.conf
...
