Use ","  can separate them one by one.
We do it at lib/swiotlb.c

I have change all uses of IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE to io_tlb_default_size in 
lib/swiotlb.c

I have validity these code is OK.
Example:
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE += swiotlb=, ,512,268435456
Io_tlb_segsize has been changed from 128 to 512
Io_tlb_default_size has been changed from 64M to 268435456  (256M)
