You will need to enclose the filenames in quotes, like this:
$ cd /media/sda7/
$ cat "O Jerusalem I" "O Jerusalem II" > "O Jerusalem"

Fro a technical standpoint, the filenames do not have to end in .avi,
although convention means that they should. Also, sometimes spaces in
filenames complicates things slightly, as seen here with the need for
quotes.
