I'm afraid you will have to open them with filetype set to none or set
it for each manually, Geany is designed to try very hard to get a
filetype since so much depends on that.

You could try editing the filetype.sh file [styling] section
(Tools->Configuration files->Filetype configuration->scripting
languages->filetypes.sh) to map all syntactic elements to default
style.  Those lines are element=style so all should be =default.
Never tried it myself.
