As I understand it you want to create a .bdf file and then take that and insert it at another bigger .bdf file.

My quick solution would be to create the first small Block Design File and when you consider it finished go to File->Create/Update->Create HDL file from current file.

Then take the HDL file, change its input/output ports to whatever fits your 1 bit ALU and save it.

Then take the HDL saved HDL file (open it in the Quartus editor) and while it is the current opened file go to File->Create/Update->Create symbol file from current file.
