For the longer videos I uploaded both the split parts, and a
further-recompressed stitched-together version. (The stitched versions were
compressed with VP9 so I could reduce the file size under the 1GB
chunked-upload limit.)
Note that it may take a bit more before they all properly render
low-resolution versions for online viewing, but the originals should still
play in Firefox/Chrome while they run.

Hi Brion,
I suppose that I could try uploading to Google Drive and sharing the
files with you, which may or may not encounter the same problem that the
Labs tool has. I would prefer to be done with this project ASAP, so if it's
OK with you I can send you some kind of physical media and then you can
upload as you see fit.
Yeah physical media is fine - best not to lose momentum! I'll follow up
off list with shipping details.
