It seems that a test set was chosen for each set and several selections were combined the wrong way. Just take the merged reflection file, choose a new test and refine the model until R-free and R level out. It could be worthwhile to do a round of manual rebuilding, or two. Your work set has changed a lot too. If you want to avoid the issue of test set bias, you could move random reflections from your current restart to the work set, rather than picking a whole new test set at random.

Yes, you will have a problem justifying having a free set that covers 43% of your data. Considering that you appear to have about 20000 reflections you should be able to get by with the default test set size of 5%. 10% is the biggest test set size that I've seen used routinely. A rule-of-thumb is to aim for at least 1000 reflections in your test set, as long as the percentage size doesn't get too large. I don't know of any software that will mark 40% of data with a free flag. Something went terribly wrong when you performed this step. You should go back and verify each step of your data reduction. I think you will find that your refinement will go better when you actually use more of your data.
