Nothing prevents you from using series of bundles.

A bundle for a single revision looks like a patch with a few comments
on top and bottom. _If_ you have several revisions in your patch, you
get the diff as human readable, and the intermediate revisions as
MIME-encoded.

For big changes, people do send several bundles.

So, a bundle is a direct replacement for a patch, not for series of
patches.
