Now that all is said, let's see how we solve the problem.
If you use the file driver, there is one directory for each run. Now if you play it the stupid way, and burn that directory on the top level directory of the CD, then indeed, you problably need one CD for each amanda run.
But you'll have to figure out anyway how you will burn that amanda file-driver backup directory to disk. I presume you do want a multiple session CD. Then you can put each directory on a suitable named subdirectory (like the date of backup). Or you can collect a few backups on disk, until you have one CDR full, and then burn it, even without multisession, on the CDR.
Isn't that workable?
