Yes, "COPY" actually does an append. So just do what you
do now 10,000 times for 100 records. It's a bit safer.
I've done 1M recod COPYsmany times on a low-end PC, no trouble

Put the log file someplace with more room. You should be able to
run for a month without worrying about log files over filling

Logging is controled likely from the startup script. Maybe in
/etc/rc.d details depend on your OS.
