Import folder of vector files, place them in specific spots in a template and export them as single vector image.

I engrave jewelry and need some help setting up a template file that can be imported into my engraving software. My goal is to have a template file/s, and in as few steps as possible, "import" a lot of vector files from a specific folder, line them up into a "grid/collage", and then export that file. The output file must be a vector file (svg, ai, dxf...). I found this guys script package JJMacks Photo Collage Toolkit scripts [login to view URL] can almost do exactly what I need, but it's setup for Photoshop and does not support vector images. I'm hoping someone can help me make it or something similar work using Illustrator and vector files. I don't need borders, shading or any other formatting. A video of the above script working. [login to view URL] I need something simple, easy to operate and can be done with thousands of images. I'm also open to any other approach that might be a better option. The attached sample image is just a quick idea of what I'm trying to do.
