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?
