Correct, unfortunately there's no way to detect subsequent ones.

You can push() multiple times to compose the firmware path string (which is the
whole purpose :).

Example from nova-core:

	pub(crate) struct ModInfoBuilder<const N: usize>(firmware::ModInfoBuilder<N>);
	
	impl<const N: usize> ModInfoBuilder<N> {
	    const fn make_entry_file(self, chipset: &str, fw: &str) -> Self {
	        let version = "535.113.01";
	
	        ModInfoBuilder(
	            self.0
	                .prepare()
	                .push("nvidia/")
	                .push(chipset)
	                .push("/gsp/")
	                .push(fw)
	                .push("-")
	                .push(version)
	                .push(".bin"),
	        )
	    }
	
	    const fn make_entry_chipset(self, chipset: &str) -> Self {
	        self.make_entry_file(chipset, "booter_load")
	            .make_entry_file(chipset, "booter_unload")
	            .make_entry_file(chipset, "bootloader")
	            .make_entry_file(chipset, "gsp")
	    }
	
	    pub(crate) const fn create(
	        module_name: &'static kernel::str::CStr,
	    ) -> firmware::ModInfoBuilder<N> {
	        let mut this = Self(firmware::ModInfoBuilder::new(module_name));
	        let mut i = 0;
	
	        while i < gpu::Chipset::NAMES.len() {
	            this = this.make_entry_chipset(gpu::Chipset::NAMES[i]);
	            i += 1;
	        }
	
	        this.0
	    }
	}
