I can always order some .1 or .01ohm resistors to put in between them to limit the current

Keep them connected at all times. Don't use resistors.

It probably helped that these packs were purchased at the same time and likely came from the same batch, and have never been apart. The cells have always been pretty much a mirror copy of each other.

Yes, this is excellent advice. Obey the Darkgenerals!
