The original design for the ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost was to get .NET up and running for the MBA. In v3.9, we added support for multiple prerequisite packages because installing .NET 4 on XP/2003 required WIC as well, so PrereqSupportPackage was pretty much designed for .NET prerequisites.
Keep in mind that what you're asking for is against the design for Burn: presenting the user with multiple installations for a single product. Also, the more dependencies your BA has, the more fragile your installer is.

Doable but requires thinking about how to have multiple pre-req planning.

I am using the following prerequisite packages
The .Net 4.5.2 Framework initiates a restart after installation. The prerequisite bootstrapper terminates without installing the remaining prerequisite packages. When the setup resumes from the restart the managed bootstrapper is loaded, no attempt is made to install the missing prerequisite packages again.
Note: In this scenario the behavior is not too harmful, but it will be fatal if the managed BA relies on the presence of a prerequisite package and might crash, because a dependency is missing.
