Would it be possible to move the functions and other objects to a new
combined extension, and make the existing ones depend on that?

I see ALTER EXTENSION has both ADD and DROP subcommands which don't
affect the object itself, only the extension membership. The challenge
would be getting the ordering right between the upgrade/install scripts
dropping the objects from the existing extension and adding them to the
new extension.
