Merging edges

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to merge edges into a single edge for processing but haven't managed to find a way. I thought maybe composite curves would help but I haven't found a way to make them work.
In essence I have flat parts which will have one vertical side and one curved side. If the curved edge is created form a spline then a single edge is created which is what I need. If the curved edge is created from a combination of sketch objects such as lines, arcs and splines then of course multiple edges are generated.
The test document shows what I'm trying to achieve, this is based on previous help provided by @NeilCooke

Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

A bit convoluted but you can use the "3D fit spline" (and convert back to a sketch if you want) like this:
