The first merge will move all "Posts, threads, calendar events, private messages, post count, reputation, contacts, friends and ignore list" of the current USERID1 to the first new user you create. To keep the profile information you would have to reproduce it yourself. Maybe have two windows open and so you could look at the USERID1 info while creating the new user.

I think you could probably do this more completely and automatically by writing a script because then you could copy all the profile information (but of course that means doing some php programming).
