You can't. These methods strictly follow the LDAP functional model (see RFC
4511, section 4.6. Modify Operation).

These will lead to sevaral add requests being sent by command-line tool
ldapadd. Same with ldapmodify reading several change records from LDIF file
and sending a modify request for each of these.
