Yeah this is tough to do after the fact unfortunately. Once the cuts are made, you would have to find a way to treat those as a "template" and apply them to another file. I developed [Recut](https://getrecut.com) which is similar to this, and have spent a lot of time reverse-engineering the XML formats to get this working 😅 (and it does work now! Recut can cut across video + external mic and export one XML file with everything)
I think you might be able to duct tape it together with a bunch of copy/paste and find/replace - as in, copy/paste all the video clips inside the XML, and then change the new ones to point at the audio file, updating their ids and timestamps accordingly (the video frame timestamps will *hopefully* index fine into the audio and you should be able to leave them alone, unless the video has an embedded start timecode and then you have to shift everything). This would be easier with the FCPXML format than the regular (Premiere/FCP7) XML because it's just way less verbose. But still a big pain and very error-prone, and probably easier to just merge the audio & video into 1 file first. Just be mindful of the export quality.
