Since a cell library is simply a DGN format file with many models (each of which is a cell) you may be able to convert all of your DWGs to DGNs, then Import each of those models into a single cell library. 
 That may be something best handled by a combination of Batch Converter (to change file format) and VBA (to import and rename the default model of each created DGN. There's a Programming forum where they could help you refine any code you write - just make sure to tell them which version of MicroStation you are using because capabilities and bug vary by version. Nobody there can write the code for you, but they can help you figure out calls, methods and procedures.
