I understand you mean multiple patch (IPatch) by multiple message
instead of multiple sysex message (SysexMessage).  Am I correct?

If I'm correct, this is the only job of Converter.  Converter's
createPatch() divides the input message into multiple patch and assigns
a proper driver onto each patch by using IDriver.supportsPatch().  The
process does not care if all of the patch are supported by a single
driver or not.

And now a converter can override createPatch() method directly instead
of Converter.extractPatch().  Converter has more flexibility than before.

Am I on the same page with you?
