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.

To understand what happens during an RPM upgrade, read
(and the surrounding documentation).
The correct approach is to create a myRPM-1-2.i386.rpm that contains
all the files of the original RPM that stayed the same plus the three
modified files.
Another approach is to create a delta rpm that will patch the original
rpm to create the new one. Unfortunately, I do not have a link to the
documentation for this :-(
