It certainly is. Are you talking about the file names being
file_1001.txt, file_1002.txt and so on? If yes, let's say  your
parameter values are stored in param. Then something like this would
do the trick:

param_values = [1000,1001, 1005, 2001]

for param in param_values:
    fname = 'file_' + str(param)


   # write to file fname
   #
   #


Sorry if its different from what you are looking for. But yes, its
certainly possible.

It is possible to generate plots and save each as JPEGs. [1].

What do you mean by stitching together?
