I had that issue with some drink coasters I was printing. I did end up with two separate models but not two gcode files.
These are fairly fancy for a single extruder printer. There was no need to splice gcode files together. I did change filament lot.
These are just a base model and the top model with the words and rings.
In the case of the Happy Camper coasters I used the Per Model settings and the words were printed with no bottom layers.
I wrote myself a little program to splice gcode files. After thinking a bit more it became apparent that all it was doing was configuring about 4 lines of gcode for the transition. Lately I've been using the Pause at Height post-processor since that's what it does anyway. You just need to consider if the top file needs a Z adjustment of the Home Offset, or if just using G92 will suffice. By using the pauses in two files as the "end one and begin the next" location it works very well.
