It won't make the slightest difference. When you burn the CD-R the ripping software will assemble a single single stream and that will be burned onto the bulk of the disk. The rest will be an index giving the block number of each track.
This assumes that your ripping and burning software work correctly. There can be problems burning WAV files if the software isn't set up correctly or if the WAV files don't each consist of samples that are an integer multiple of frames. One frame is 588 samples equals 1/75 second. If these problems exist then the transitions from track to track will not be gapless. This is unlikely to be a problem these days if the WAV files were ripped from a physical disk. You might have problems if you try to burn a disk yourself from WAV files that are not of the proper length, for example from files you created yourself with an editor or from an improperly tracked download.
