Can there be more than one Multibase header in such a lexical string? Or is first unnecessary here?

It might be more accurate to using the first character of the lexical string as the multibase header. I think this text was intended to make it clear that while the lexical string is composed of many characters (of course), it is the first one (the first character) that expresses the multibase header.
