If I merge them, the resulting 10G file is too big for tshark. I'd need to run tshark on every 1G file, then merge the output, not the inverse. Another option could be to add the opportunity to append tshark output to an existing pcap file (this is not supported now, is it?).

You could use a batch script to do what you want, like

        for %%a IN (*.pcap) DO tshark.exe -r "%%a" -R "dns.qry.name contains google" -w "filtered_%%a"
        mergecap -a -w all-google-queries.pcap filtered*.pcap
