AGutman-WMF added a comment.
I've now created a patch <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/808244> that does allow associating several spelling variants with the same private language code. If the patch gets merged, it will allow associating spelling variants of forms or lexemes with codes like `da-x-Q123-1`, `da-x-Q123-2` (on top of an existing `da-x-Q123`) etc. In other words, the same private-use language code (qualified by some Q-id) can be reused with an arbitrary integer number following it. These numbers may represent some order of preference (for instance, according to frequency, or word-length), but they can also be arbitrary if no distinguishing criteria is provided. I believe such a representation of variant spellings is better than duplicating the form with its grammatical features and other statements. If a statement should apply only to a specific spelling variant, it is possible to qualify it (using for instance the Subject Form <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5830> property or some other tailor-made property). I believe this solution would solve the initial problem associated with this ticket ("Cannot enter multiple forms for the same language variant"), but is this still of relevance?
