Contribute code that implements the feature. :-)

Go to the "Edit->Preferences" menu item, click in the "[+]" box next to
"Protocols in the dialog box it opens up, click on "TCP", turn on the
"Allow subdissector to desegment TCP streams" option, then click on
"Q.931" and, if the "Desegment all Q.931 messages spanning multiple TCP
segments" option isn't on, turn it on as well.

Then click "Save" and "OK".
