As a general rule, one off patches are applied only at the direct request >From oracle support. If you need a silver bullet (merge patch), you have to ask for that. If not, wait for the next patchset. I hear that 9.2.0.4 is just around the corner.

I think most of people here have applied several one-off patches successfully, at least I have. But the issue is, as the name says, the one-off patches are only for fixing a certain bit of behaviour, they havent been tested in heavy-loaded envrionments where they could affect each other. But eventually these one-offs make their way to patchsets, which are stress tested for reliability. So, you are on your own risk when going with multiple one-offs, but in my experience it has worked. Others may have different experience, though..
