On that front, I know I'd have to make the CSS more responsive, by
removing some (or many?) specifications in px, and replace them by
percentages.

Not much I can do here ;-)

Yes, it currently is targeted toward the publication of one file,
presented as if it were many (because of the tab presentation). Not sure
how to for many files.

Maybe the CSS should be cut into what's common for both use cases, and
what's specific to "one Org page" or "multiple Org pages".

I think it does work.  Do you have an ECM where it doesn't?  Or another
proposition?
