While I’m not going to go into specifics for obvious reasons, there is plenty of unused bandwidth in the lasing schema (Information assigend pre-flight to each bomb about the designator.) for a single laser to be used to designate multiple targets.

The actual number is lasing system dependent.

For a Paveway system, as shown in the picture, there are tactical requirements that are also involved in the number of simultanious target which can be hit.

There is another reason users don't utilize a capability like this. Some of laser systems have a "slew" and then designate requirement. I flew with LANTIRN, and despite having a really good nav system in the pod, it required you to sweeten up the solution before designating the target.

It sounds like they have eliminated this requirement and have added a more advanced stores management system where the targeting pod is able to pull the correct laser code for the particular weapon automatically.
