As for usable details...  It seems like it might work if you use 
livecd-iso-to-disk to set up your liveUSB as is currently supported. 
Then use livecd-iso-to-disk again with more partitions (assuming you had 
it partitioned before all of this).  Then on the last partition that you 
did, you'd want to go into _its_ syslinux.cfg, and merge in entries from 
the syslinux.cfg from the other partitions.  Naturally if the kernels or 
initrds from the different partitions are actually different, you'll 
need to copy them to the partition that syslinux actually uses (last one 
you ran l-i-t-d on (?)), with unique names, adjusting the .cfg.

That was all off the top of my head speculation.  If I'm not forgetting 
something, it might work.
