Here's some program I wrote that used multiple bombs:

;redcode verbose
;name Confetti
;author Pierre Baillargeon
;strategy   v0.99:  Leave stuff everywhere.
;strategy   v1.00:  Fastest clear core.
;strategy   v1.10:  Copy ourselves away.
;strategy   v1.20:  Change step and kill method.
;strategy   v1.22:  One instruction smaller.
;strategy   v1.30:  Now affect 3 locations / 4 cycles.
;strategy   v2.00:  Start mod-5, decrement, end core-clear.
;strategy   v2.10:  Smaller.
;strategy   v2.20:  Self-splitting, mod-random, mutagenizing.
;kill Confetti


dist1	equ -15			; mod-5 but not 10
dist2	equ -70+1		; mod-10 but not 20

many	spl 0,<kill		; staying alive
kill	mov bomb1,@back+dist2	; decrement and bomb2
clear	mov bomb1,@kill		; decrement and bomb1 (mod-8)
mod	add #dist2,kill		; change location (mod-16)
back	djn kill,<1998		; redo if not zero: small protection

bomb1	dat #0,#dist1		; bombs are not moved away

	end many


;redcode verbose
;name Vent du mont Sharr
;author Pierre Dak Baillargeon
;strategy   v1.0:   YASB.
;strategy   v2.0:   Mutagenize memory.
;kill Vent du mont Sharr

dist    equ -6883

coma    spl coma,  <1      ; the poison
start   add #dist, coma+1  ; change location
kill    mov @kill, <coma   ; put ennemy in coma

        end coma


The last one is not a fast bomber, but has an interesting behavior.
