It seems you can overcome this limitation by creating a sitemap index file to aggregate your site maps into one and then submit the sitemapindex file as your site map. You can name it whatver you like so in a multi site installation you can create on for each site.
I just created one for mojoportal.com like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.mojoportal.com/SiteMap.ashx</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.mojoportal.com/Blog/BlogSiteMap.ashx</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.mojoportal.com/productsitemap.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>
Make sure you save it as utf-8 not ansi. Name it whateveryoulike.xml and put it in the root of your site. Then submit it as your site map.
Best,
Joe
