You can also use Subtitle Workshop to unite any number of subtitle parts, even in different formats with different FPS (you can select a different FPS for each file). The program lets you also configure a delay (positive or negative, time or frames), even maximum and minimum duration.

Subtitles can be adjusted by first and last dialogs, using two points (linear algorithm). Time expander and reducer changes the overall time under certain conditions.
