I often preach take one change at a time. That does not mean an umpire refuses to take a change just because an involved player is not part of the very next play.

It means that the umpire should control the exchange. IOW, don't let the coach just rattle off multiple changes or offer them in groups (i.e., "Blue, 17, 9 & 6 in for 24, 3 & 2). Force the coach to slow down and give them to you one at a time (i.e., Coach: Blue, 17 for 24; Ump: Okay. Coach: 9 for 3; Ump: Okay. etc.)
