set_next_input() originated with the console interface, where it doesn't
really make sense to set anything beyond the next input. So it can
currently add only one cell per user execution.

If you really need your code to modify the notebook document, you can have
it display javascript to do so - but be careful that that JS doesn't get
rerun every time you open the notebook.
