I think you'd need to develop your own change to the script to combine
these values before the call number is sent to the template.  The template
expects to receive only one variable for call number.

You can't have both "biblioitems" information and "items" information in
the same MARC tag.  (Well, you can, but you could only map to one of those
tables, not both.) You'll need to somehow split the information into two
tags.  The script I did for Nelsonville uses the MARC::Record module to
split the info into a 942 tag (mapped to biblioitems) and a 952 tag
(mapped to items) before the record is imported into Koha.
