Hi and welcome to MobileRead. Short answer is no, currently not.

Longer answer - maybe. The anatomy of a metadata download plugin allows you to return multiple results from a source. So theoretically perhaps it could return the same book multiple times but with just the series information differing. However there might be other reasons why this would not work, as I’m just talking from memory without looking at the code. There is a merging process that calibre does across the results (for if you have multiple book source plugins and it thinks they match). That might make this a non-starter as an idea.

So it is something I would have to experiment with. I don’t have the time to do that for at least the next month or so for personal reasons so all plugin work (other than if a quick bug fix) is on hold again at the moment…
