I don't think that this solution is problematic for two reasons:

a)
The definition reads as follows:

""Secondary License" means either the GNU General Public License, Version
2.0, or any later versions of that license, including any exceptions or
additional permissions as identified by the initial Contributor."

This would mean the Identifier looks like
"EPL-2.0 OR GPL-2.0 OR GPL-3.0 OR GPL-2.0 WITH Classpath-exception-2.0"
Somewhat confusing.

b)
I see no reason to do that (very) differently from what we have for MPL-2.0.

Thanks for dealing with this issue!
