You obviously need 10^5 solar masses to make something that large. Whether they come via a number of IMBH's collapsing into one SMBH or otherwise, I don't understand your question.

I was wondering where the 10^5 solar masses were coming from–certainly it's not just a couple of stars merging and creating a black hole.
