This suggestion is based on assumptions that are not true.
At the wanna-build level you can schedule only a binNMU for one
architecture, higher level tools that schedule rebuilds on all
arches do therefore emit one binNMU command per architecture.
It might be possible to hack together a solution for what you want,
but that would still not solve the other problem of binary-all binNMUs.
As already mentioned, the proper solution for binNMUs would be at the
dak level with a dcut command[1] - then you have a proper new source
package with a new source version and everything will just work
without additional hacks.

[1] or some dedicated service, so that the requester of a 1k package
binNMU does not have to download sources for 1k packages and does
not have to sign 1k packages
