I'm not sure about reverting your multiple selections; perhaps just using the arrow keys without VO modifiers would do it. To clarify the question of starting a multiple non contiguous selection, pressing VO-Command Space the first time begins the mode but also unselects the currently highlighted item. So pressing that same key combination again will then select the item. All this is spoken as you go along. Pressing VO-arrow keys will move you along as has been discussed already and previously selected items will remain selected. Every time the VO-Command-Space is pressed on an item, you will hear the spoken number of selected items as well as the current item's selection status. I do not alter any of my VO cursor tracking stuff to do any of this. either. I like it.
