I'm confused here.

What are you doing, job wise, or training, how are you generating all these sources for PIREPS? Are you personally observing these conditions or are you gathering them from multiple sources? Generally if your observed condition matches that of an AIRMET/SIGMET, or is of greater degree of severity, then it's ok to file a PIREP to confirm or even elevate the known conditions. Typically Icing/freezing levels, and high level turbulance are most common reported items.

Now, Let's say you experience Mod-Turb 40-ABV, and Smooth below, yes you can do two individual, or just a combination PIREP. In a generalized area, you could make the report off of one station if you want, it's not like you're 100+nm away.

I'm just trying to figure out how you're having 3+PIREPS you want to file per flight or whatever you are doing.
