I have had good luck doing exactly this with Inkscape, which is free. I simply opened up the svg therion spit out, selected the group, then clicked Ungroup (Object -> Ungroup). You can then edit anything you want. To have plan and elevation in a single file, you'd simply import them both into a single file within Inkscape. Hopefully that helps!

I thought that it would be easy with any svg editor, but apparently this
is not the case at all. I can open and visualize the svg files produced
by therion using inkscape, but I cannot degroup the drawing in order to
edit some of the parts and, more importantly, importing the plan and the
elevation in a single document lead to an incorrect result (see
NaduelRD5_fuse.svg). It seems that there is a namespace problem: as both
drawing refer to elements that have the same name, so that the
definition of one of the drawing overwrite the definitions of the other.
Does anybody have an idea of how to overcome that? Is there any other
svg editor that behaves better (and which is not too expensive!)?
