I have tried several combinations of programs to perform multi-file xfers
between PCs and the Mac.

First, Red Ryder 10.3, says that it supports YMODEM.  I have never gotten
Red Ryder's YMODEM to work with any PC based emulator that supports YMODEM.

However, MicroPhone 1.1 YMODEM does work with multiple files at least
when you are sending from the PC to the Mac.  I have not tried sending
multi-files from the Mac to the PC though.  Another nice thing about
MicroPhone is that it supports up to 56kbaud which helps if you have the
PC and Mac direct connected.

On the PC side of things I have used ProComm and Mirror (the crosstalk
clone).  Both of their YMODEMs work with MicroPhone.  Procomm, however,
only goes up to 19.2kb so I would use Mirror or Crosstalk if you are
direct connected.

If you get YMODEM from Mac to PC working with multi-files let me know
how it works.
