The problem with doing that is that when I transfer to my Kobo only the 'main' series will display. I already have a sub-series column which also doesn't transfer (annoying - I hate fiddling with plugboards which I think is what is needed to get the sub-series to display). The other issue is that the second series is not a secondary series - it's a second series and ranks with the first series.

We really need more places to custom display metadata on Kobos; I'm already using the sub-title field for collection information; sub-series and tags are the other missing data items.

I see someone in one of the old threads does use a second entry rather than a series-like column.

Fortunately, it's only the one book (well, short story) so far but given the authors concerned I suspect more candidates will come to light as their short stories are digitised.
