Is there a trick to getting multiple growths on a Catasetum?

The question is pretty much spelled out in the title, but just to give a little bit of background. Now that I've had my first try at growing this alliance and done reasonably well with it so far, there's a couple plants I have that I'd really love to grow into specimens with the most flowers I can fit on a plant (I feel like that's not an uncommon goal here)... To that end, I'd imagine that if you have more new growths, you increase your flowering potential.

Right now, my Fdk. After Dark is showing three spikes, which I'm super excited about, but if I had two growths started at the same time as I've sometimes seen on some of these plants, and I grew it damn near perfectly, one could imagine two matured bulbs with 3-4 spikes per bulb (technically my Fdk. has two new growths, but one is very late and unlikely to bloom in my opinion).

This leads me to two questions:
1.) Is my premise valid that more new bulbs = more flower spikes?
2.) Is there really anything you can do to get more than one growth at a time?

My Clowesia Jumbo Grace 'Alba' was purchased with one moderately sized new growth and a second one was hiding under some of the moss (still growing, but currently on the smaller side). I suspect my Fdk. After Dark put out a very late second growth high up on a back bulb in what I can only guess was a response to cold stress from shipping... Clearly some conditions / species / hybrids are more conducive to multiple growth production; I'm just curious if anyone else has an idea on a technique for pushing new growths.
