Suppose you have flow vs head loss charts for various lengths of tubing, a radiator and a waterblock, and maybe a gpu block as well. How would you combine this to produce a head loss vs flow curve for the whole loop from the pump outlet round to the pump inlet for comparison with the pump p-q curve.
Also, can you do the same thing with flow vs efficiency charts to try and predict a systems sweetspot.

Add all the head loss charts together. That is, for each flow rate, make the pressure the sum of the pressure on each head loss chart at that flow rate.
As you probably know, you can then take this overall head loss chart and plot against the pump curve. The interesection point is the head loss and flow rate of the entire system.
Not sure what you mean by "flow vs efficiency charts."
