So, starting from the extracted files from .pck file, how can I "reduild" a new .pck file without the original one?

PCK archives don't use compression, so what you can do is the following:

- use Bincat by Aluigi to concatenate the output wems into one large file

- use hdiffz to make a patch between the original PCK and the concatenated data

Then, in your repack installation, concatenate the wems with bincat and apply the patch you made with hpatchz to restore the original PCK.
