It would be somewhat easier to just pretend to be multiple
SCSI IDs instead of a multi-LUN device. That would
also enjoy higher support among hosts.

In terms of supporting multiple SCSI LUNs, it's down to what the
target host can do. For some, it's just a regular part of doing
business. For others, they expect embedded SCSI devices to be one
SCSI target == one storage device.
Back when SCSI-MFM and SCSI-ESDI bridges were common, people cared
about SCSI LUN support. Once embedded SCSI took over, interest
rapidly waned.
So the protocol supports it, it shouldn't be hard to have the SCSI2HD
firmware support it, but it would only matter if your host also
supported it.
