Large scale reverse transcription?
The best way for scaling up these kinds of reactions is to set up many reactions. Prepare a mastermix for lets say 20 reactions. You can pool them together, precipitate the RNA and dissolve to appropriate concentration in nuclease free water. Also, use gene specific primer instead of oligo-dT and don't add poly-A tails (poly-A does not affect the in-vitro stability of RNA).

As Mad Scientist already indicated, you would not need to make DNA again from RNA. Simply take 1:2 molar ratio of your IVT template dsDNA (restriction digested) and the RNA (post IVT). Heat and anneal slowly. DNA-RNA hybrids are stronger then DNA-DNA hybrids and the former is more likely to form after annealing. You can digest the unpaired strands using enzymes like mung bean nuclease.
