So I just tried, too, to get more than one shiny patch in one chain.
After reaching a chain of 40, I needed to reset about 30 times in order to get my first shiny patch. Since the chance of getting one is 1/200, I went on and resettet 400 times. I got no second shiny patch. Of course, even with 400 tries that's no guarantee that it's impossible, because 1/200 isn't that great a chance, but it seems quite hard to get a second one. Maybe the game does even reset the chance of getting a shiny after the first one.
Considering this, it definitely does make more sense to build up chains of 40 Pokémon again and again instead of trying to get more than one shiny patch within one chain.
