I suggest:

The Certification Authority (CA) The CA MUST
generate a new End Entity (EE) certificate for each signing of a
particular prefixlen file. The private key associated with the
EE certificate SHOULD sign only one prefixlen file.  That is,
a new key pair SHOULD be generated
for each new version of a particular prefixlen file.
When the EE certificate used in this fashion, it is termed a "one-time-use"
EE certificate (see Section 3 of [RFC6487]).
