The way we handled this in NVMe was to use a bit in the command that was called (iirc) FUSED, which let you use two consecutive entries for a single command. Some variant on that could surely be used for io_uring. Perhaps a special opcode that says "the real opcode is here, and this is a two-slot command". Processing gets a little spicy when one slot is the last in the buffer and the next is the the first in the buffer, but that's a SMOP.
