I have always understood that Spirou collections were compiled from unsold/too many printed copies. How is it possible that many book blocks of these bundles have grooves as if they had gone through the same cutting(?) process at the same time?

Because no Spirou ekzakt has the same size and because they have to be neatly arranged in a bundle as if it were one neat book. With a little thought you could have come up with that yourself.
Consult a bookbinder who can tell you exactly how bookbinding works...

That is because they have indeed gone through the same cutting process.
(Those grooves are caused by minor damage in the blade, which cuts diagonally through the stack of paper.)
Bound (and trimmed) magazines are always slightly smaller than loose copies, sometimes the difference is 1 cm.
