Suggesting this was not a terrible bad match... in fact, a rejoining after a extended leave. HOWEVER, after considering it, one could state that the new entity is merely referring to the fact that, as Thoth, they had become decrepit and ruined, and the merging of Durandal has made him whole again, "and even more" with Durandal's little 'quirks'.
The new entity later mentions it's plans to help the new Spht elders to 'carve another paradise out of the void'. Jjaro intent maybe, though I'd doubt it.
One could speculate that there was more to the joining than simple expediency, but I don't see any evidence of it in the text itself. Valid material for a third party, however...
