I don't know of a way to do this automatically other than with the Bookmark 
Functions in FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers (executed automatically as 
part of the distilling process).

You can merge bookmarks combinations where a bookmark is under a certain 
number of characters and the following bookmark is over a certain number of 
characters, with additional controls.
[more info at http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#4, also see dialog 
box at http://www.microtype.com/TimeSavers.html ]

This function was originally introduced to handle the more common case of 
separate bookmarks generated for the chapter number and the chapter title.
