The trick is not to bundle them for the destination that you never intend to 
connect with, so that you're not trying to "re-bundle" them for their actual 
destination later.

If you really are willing to sit on the netmails until ZMH, then you could 
initially send them as unrouted/HOLD/uncompressed PKTs throughout the day. This 
allows you to view them individually in the outbound window without originating 
connection attempts.  Then add a Sched block for ZMH which actually CHANGEs 
them from HOLD to NORMAL and then ROUTEs them to the single uplink with 
whatever compression and flavor you like for that node.  Squish can do that for 
raw uncompressed PKTs already in the outbound.

Of course, you would have to rethink your default archiving setup in SQUISH.CFG 
and global routing statements in ROUTE.CFG to make sure they don't collide with 
or contradict this scheme and get the extra -s switch for SQUISH invocations to 
tell Squish how/when to use the new schedule block.
