I saw Penrose diagrams of matter falling into a black hole, though I couldn’t find one of merging black holes.
I’ll try to draw one and post it, might take some time, given that you need more dimensions than just 1 space + 1 time on the original Penrose diagram, because you lose spherical symmetry. The head-on collision process still retains cylindrical symmetry, so a 2+1 picture should do it, represented by a 3D Penrose diagram, which is going to take some work.
I can’t believe nobody needed to do that already. Even if people who can draw one don’t need it because they do just fine with the equations, I’d have expected someone to make one just for fun...

Oh, thank you very much for the effort!
