The MSI patching model supports that but as you found, it quickly turns
into a exponential nightmare both for building the patches and applying
them. The general approach is to support multiple QFE patches but
cumulative minor upgrade patches (aka service packs). The service packs
supercede the QFEs and eventually become the required target images. It
keeps the matrix down to a manageable level.
