What about leaving all the sequence files separate and writing a small shell
script invoking fasta for each file? Or do I miss something?

Assuming you have a directory with a lot of sequences all called
[something].seq, the following should invoke fasta for each of them
and store the result in [something].seq.fasta, if I understand the
manpage correctly:

 #! /bin/sh
 for i in *.seq
 do
     fasta [insert your favorite parameters here] -O $i.fasta $i
 done
