The problem with multiple wraps would be in tightening them enough to stanch the flow of arterial blood. A single turn can easily be tightened with a handle of some sort, but multiple turns would only be as tight as you could pull each one by hand before making the next turn, not including slippage during subsequent wraps. I would never use something as narrow as a sageo for a tourniquet, out of concern for causing crushing tissue injuries.
