For safety's sake, I'd be inclined to create C.rrd with the
same RRAs and DEFs, etc. as A and B, then do

rrdtool fetch A.rrd --start <whenever> >C.data
rrdtool fetch B.rrd --start <whenever> >>C.data

and hack C.data into a form suitable to be used with
rrdtool update. Once convinced C.rrd is sane, you could then
do a last transition and either rename C.rrd as B.rdd (or
A.rrd), or switch to writing to C.rrd direct.
