I think this will not work for the second part claimed by the comment
in the code posted: "The pattern may extend over multiple lines."
For example,
abc
def
ghi
:g/abcc\ndef/d
will delete only "abc", it will not delete "def".
I'm not sure how important this is to the OP...
If it is, it should be fairly possible to do it with a :s
command, something like
:%s/^abc\ndef\n//
