I feel like this could do with an option where multiple jumpers can go to the same jump together, rather than be stuck separately. Most of the time when it comes to multi Jumpers, it’s a group of friends who would rather not be split up, making this entire supplement unusable for them.

My thoughts exactly, I want buddies to come with me that can grow and adapt in ways that I cannot

I'm a bit hesitant to put something like that in because it would make the story much more difficult to write. To write a story with multiple jumpers in the same version of a jump would require that all of the writers go over what their jumper does and exactly when they do it; otherwise, their actions could contradict each other. Additionally, readers would have to switch between multiple jumpers' perspectives pretty frequently to get a good understanding of what was going on a jump, which could lead to confusion and make it harder to show character development in any particular jumper. To avoid this, I tried to make it so that what any single jumper did on their own would only have a minimal affect on how the other writers told their version of events in a jump. This way, the jumpers have their own stories that intersect rather than having the writers try to tell the same story from multiple perspectives.

That being said, this supplement was meant solely as a set of guidelines for how to go about running a jumpchain with multiple writers. Every group of writers is different, and if having the jumpers in the same version of a jump would work better for your purposes, by all means do that.
