Good question :)
It's generally easier to understand if the whole series is sent.
If the series is large, it is better to wait to have several changes.
If you are almost sure there will be no more change except 1 or 2 small
ones, then you can send only these single patches.
Anyway, please keep patchwork status updated, i.e. mark old patches as
superseded.
