B. The Digitial Sidecar must be connected to a NI 9403 module in Slot 2 of the cRIO.
C. The RSL must be wired for “solid light” operation, by placing a jumper between the La and Lb terminals on the light per Figure 4‑9.
I see nothing in the rule that prohibits multiple RSLs.

That being said, expect resistance from some inspectors and be prepared to remove the extras should the head inspector require you to do so.

Al, specifically, why would you have issue with multiple RSLs?
