Large numbers of patches is not only desirable, it is encouraged!  Bring
them on, I get patch series all the time that start out [00/34] and
that's just fine.

And actually, doing things in small chunks is better if a problem is
found, as smaller patches are easier to review, and 'git bisect' makes
it trivial to narrow in on a specific patch.
