I haven’t tried it, but the .rasmap file is just XML that points to the .pXX.hdf files so I imagine you could save out the hdf files from each run to the same folder (with different .p##s) and edit the .rasmap file manually as a worst case scenario
I have been able to open the same model on multiple computers, and run different plans on each. You may want to test this out with 2-3 plans first before going all in, but no reason why it shouldn't.
Sounds like you were running them from the same overall (i.e. shared) project directory? I think the OP is wanting to run them from a new project directory on each computer then compile the results.
To my knowledge, there is no way to directly import a result file (.hdf) directly into RasMapper.
You might be able to trick HEC-RAS by copying all the plan (.pXX) and result (.pXX.hdf) files into one model. Delete out the .rasmap file. Then, if you open RasMapper, it should recreate the .rasmap file. I think it might bring in all the result files in the directory but never tried it.
Otherwise, you just have to create the static maps and bring in the rasters/shapefiles.
RAS-Commander! It’s a Jupyter notebook that will run all of your RAS plans in parallel across multiple machines. Should be exactly what you are looking for. All the info is here: https://github.com/billk-FM/HEC-Commander/tree/main/RAS-Commander

This really isn't an answer to your question, but if you have to run that many scenarios with that long of a simulation time, I would take a different modeling approach.
First, I would probably develop all the breach hydrographs in HEC-HMS and see if you can rule out some parameters or run a "high", "medium", and "low" case to bound the issue.
Second, I would try to do things to speed up the computation time for my existing model. Run diffusion wave, increase cell size/time step, use restart files, use time division only during peak, cut out unnecessary upstream/downstream areas, etc.
Third, I would consider going to 1D (or 1D/2D). Even a 1D steady state model would get a decent water surface profile.
Good luck!
Unfortunately I'm required to run the model with its current configuration to meet local requirements and maintain consistency with other models that have been approved.

Good idea. That was similar to my thought.

Yes, this.
