Actually the PDF spec allows for more than 2 pairs of values in /ByteRange but 
it would mean that there is more than one gap in the signed data apart from the 
signature itself. Quoting from ISO 32000-1 section 12.8.1: 
"This range should be the entire file, including the signature dictionary but 
excluding the signature value itself (the Contents entry). Other ranges may be 
used but since they do not check for all changes to the document, their use is 
not recommended."

Obviously in a file with multiple signatures each signature should cover
the latest revision present in the file when the signature was appended.
