OP says you can only specify -f once.
What about using -P? That can be scripted so you could do something where a script checks a file for the current filename it should cat.
-P pipecommand
Use popen(3) to execute the sh(1) script string defined by
pipecommand as the input for every volume in the backup. This
child pipeline's stdout (/dev/fd/1) is redirected to the restore
input stream, and the environment variable RESTORE_VOLUME is set
to the current volume number being read. The pipecommand script
is started each time a volume is loaded, as if it were a tape
drive.
