I recently experimented a bit with adding a second entry to autoexec.bat
and config.sys to add DOS support for a second CD-ROM device, (my
recorder). No luck, though, although I gave up perhaps too easily.
Here's what I did:

config.sys includes:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\TSYCDROM.SYS /D:IDECD_00 /P:SM
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\TSYCDROM.SYS /D:IDECD_01 /P:SM

autoexec.bat includes:
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IDECD_00 /L:L
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IDECD_01 /L:M
------------
I don't have any problem with what you used in the config.sys file.
I haven't tried loading two devices on one driver statement in config.sys
but with mscdex you MUST load all devices at one command, for
example:

LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IDECD_00 /D:IDECD_01 /L:L

The cdroms will be assigned drive letters consecutively, beginning with L:
For the record, I don't know any way to assign the first cd to L: and the next to
any letter other than M:
