Hi Peng,

One of our engineers has this to say: "-multiple really only means use 
multiple best chains, but here we only have one chain, and one bed4 
block, and it just expands the interval until it is large enough." We 
have noted your request.

Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further 
questions.
