An even simpler manual solution could be adding a sentence with 372
footnotes at the beginning of file-b and merging the relevant part of
file-b with file-a. Maybe with something like:
(let ((org-footnote-define-inline t)
(org-footnote-auto-adjust t))
(dotimes (x 371)
(insert (concat "a [fn:" (number-to-string (1+ x)) ":a] "))))
