Again, run the script using the individual files contained in a patch instead of the entire patch.

Not really, no. I don't see much value in your request to others. It seems you are doing some academic work rather than actually using it for sending patches. You are of course welcome to extexd the script in whatever manner you need for your own use, but even here, I don't believe you need to do anything to the script but change how you use it.
