Shading Controls Multiple Surface Control Type

I usually add one or two shading controls in the OpenStudio Application depending on the project and then I assign it to SubSurfaces through the OpenStudio Application too.

I see there is a new feature called "Multiple Surface Control Type" that is followed by the SubSurfaces list.

My question: I would like to control the SubSurfaces individually but not "in the order specified", should I add a shading control for every SubSurface?

I also noticed that in the EnergyPlus translation, the same WindowShadingControl object appears multiple times....
