Code:

ls -l /path/path_goesTo/A/ | sort -r -k 5n -t_ -k 2n | awk '{split($9,x,".");split(x[1],a,"_");i=a[1]"_"a[2]}!F[i]++{print $9}' | xargs -i cat {} >> yourbigfile

Code:

...| sort -r -k 5n -t_ -k 2n | awk '{print $NF}' | awk -F"[._]" '{i=$1"_"$2}!F[i]++{print $0}' | xargs -i cat {} >> bigoutput

Depending on the implementation, the "sort" command may need some tweak so that it displays files by number
and if several index (ex: _1 _2 _3) for a same file number (187) it displays the biggest in size at first.

As far as i tested, the output given by the sort command works fine on my Ubuntu.
Once the file are sorted that way, it build the initial base name of a file number (that is contained in i) then print only the first met and add it into your big file.
appending this into the big file could also be added within awk using the "system" command (if so, remember to close each file after concatenation into the big one).

igawk

IGAWK(1)							 Utility Commands							  IGAWK(1)

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
