I use PrusaSlicer and assume Cura has somewhat similar features. You should be able to load several files at the same time and they will all show up. Parts that don't fit on the build plate might be off to the side. Zoom out and you may see them. You may be able to rotate a few parts to squeeze a few more in compared to the default fitting algorithm.
Some of my clocks have gears or frame parts that fill just over half of the plate. In this case, you cannot fit two parts and have to print them the slow way. :(
