Mergemem merges contigious memory.  What you have there
has a gap...thus it cannot be merged.

The gap is due to the way autoconfig works, the way GVP set up
their board, and the order you have the boards.  You can't change
either of the first 2, but you can do something about the last...
Switch the order of your card.  Then the 2 meg card will get autoconfiged
first, ending up at 200000-3FFFFF.  Then the GVP board will come
in at 400000.  Mergemem will be able to merge the memory area then.

The A500/A2000 Technical Reference Manual, available
from C.A.T.S (Commodore Amiga Technical Support) for $40.
is a good place to start.
