So...
Should I write music to replace the existing tracks (the peace, the heavy
development and the war) so that users can choose, or should I write some
more to go side by side with the existing music?  The latter would be much
more difficult, because I would have to make it sound similar to the old
ones.
Another question: should I write a bunch of separate parts that can be played
randomly, or should I make one big long song?  Making them play randomly
would probably require a bunch of modifications to your engine, and I don't
know if it would be worth it.  I am open to either option.

Thank you!

Write in to replace the existing tracks. In the future, as Kai suggested, we'll likely stream together multiple tracks one after another, and have a complete music system, similar to current games. I'm considering basing our music system off of command & Conquer Red Alert, in terms of the menus atleast. It simply had a bunch of songs and it played them randomly, sometimes selecting particular music for missions. Plus the menu it used was simple and functional.
