Oh, this sounds similar to (but not exactly is) bigcrypt (where the
salts would be different).
Anyway, you can compute yescrypt from the concatenated descrypt hashes.
Note that while the concatenated descrypt hashes could be split back
into the individual ones and cracked just like you seem to have already
been doing, that trick wouldn't work on a yescrypt hash of them.
So you can reasonably use the upgrade approach I had suggested.
