patching RPMs

Hello, I have an RPM that consists of already compiled binaries ( about
100 megs worth) and I now have 3 files to patch to that RPM. (which
has already been distributed to several servers) and these three files
replace older versions inside the first RPM.
What I would like to know is if I can generate a patch to my first rpm
that will just apply those three new files but not mess up my first
RPM, i.e myRPM-1-1.i386.rpm for the main package and maybe a
myRPM-1-2.i386.rpm but when I install it, it won't erase the files from
1-1 version... I am kind of new to RPM so I am still trying to figure
it all out. I read up on the %patch tag, but that seems more for sorce
code distributions, and the files I am distributing are already
compiled.
Thank you,
Rick Silvers
