Hi, I can display and scroll 1 * 32 by 32 tile map on the gameboy, my question is, how do i "stitch" a whole bunch of these screens together so that it makes up the entire level.

Do I need to do tilestrip copying? or is there a better method?

Yes, you'll need to write a vertical or horizontal strip of map entries just as it scrolls onto the screen. When you're starting out, use the same tile data throughout the levels; only later should you try reloading tile data when the scroll reaches a specific value.
