I can't from the top of my head recall if the "block" feature supports loops, but if it does I guess that's the best way to do this.
As far as I can remember, Microsoft's own config management tool for clients (SCCM) gets around this by simply doing 2 "passes" of patching. You could do that aswell, with some conditionals to only kick the second pass if it's needed.
